I\u2019ve made over $104,000, but FICA tax is still being withheld. Why didn\u2019t my FICA tax deduction stop? Answer: Even though your gross wages are over $104,000, the FICA tax deduction doesn\u2019t stop until FICA taxable wages reach $102,000 and FICA tax withheld reaches $6,324. Some wage deductions such as cafeteria or \u00a7125 plan deductions\u00a0reduce the amount of FICA taxable wages. So, even though your gross earnings are over $102,000, FICA tax must be withheld until the maximum withholding is reached.
