Section 434(b)(1) provides that the Secretary should “make recommendations concerning the use of” Form 14157-A for purposes such as collecting and maintaining the social security or medicare credits for individuals not covered by collective bargaining agreements (unless the Secretary determines that collecting the credits will reduce the availability of such credits to covered employees or that collection of such credits will reduce the credits for such individuals). To the extent allowed by the Supreme Court in the recent cases of National Federation of Independent Businesses v. Sibelius and Gill v. Whit ford, these regulations set forth a very limited and narrowly limited range of circumstances under which the Secretary may recommend the use of Form 14157-A. However, the Secretary did interpret these regulations to require the Secretary to consider “the impact of the proposed action on covered employees” and “whether there is a reasonable basis to believe such action will not materially reduce the supply of credits to covered employees.” The Department's interpretations are detailed in Appendix A of this publication and can be found in the attached appendices. If the Secretary determines not to recommend the use of Form 14157-A, what should be the consequences? The Secretary would consider the consequences of recommending the use of Form 14157-A for the following five circumstances: If a covered employee fails to obtain benefits or is unable to obtain them, and The employee is unable to obtain credit benefits when the employee requests them by completing an exemption application form. If a covered employee fails to take benefits when he or she is eligible to take them, Providing timely notice that a covered employee is unable to take benefits. Failing to provide timely notice that a covered employee is eligible for coverage when such eligibility is apparent on a periodic or regularly scheduled basis. Failure to provide timely notice that a covered employee is eligible for benefits when such eligibility seems reasonably known to the employer and would not be readily discoverable by an employee without an exemption application.

What if my employer refuses to fill out the form? You're expected to file Form 14157-A on or before the 15th day of the year following the year in which you file your T4 slip, even if you didn't realize you had a duty to file until the previous calendar year. Where can I find the Form 14157-A I have to file? If you filed a return in 2017 and want to file Form 14157-A, you may still be able to file Form 2965-T if you made a return in 2017.

Yes. A Form 14157-A is required if you do any of the following: Are over 70 years of age or blind and cannot read, write or communicate with any visual or auditory devices; Are an emancipated minor, as defined by the Social Security Act, and cannot work; or Are engaged in military service in the U.S. Armed Force at any time during the taxable year. To create your own Form 14157-A, complete the Federal Tax Information Center (Form 1040-ES) with Form 14157-A. You can find Form 14157-A in Chapter 10 of Publication 519 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). A copy of the Form 1040-ES or Form 1040 will also help you complete your return. For specific instructions about the Form 14157-A requirement, contact the Social Security Administration. Is there an annual social security tax limit? Yes, the annual social security tax limit is 128,400 (or 1,150,000 in 2016), indexed for inflation. For 2016, the applicable tax rate is 6.2%. For example, if your taxable income was 50,000 that year, you would pay 5.60 in social security taxes. For the calculation of your social security tax, multiply your adjusted gross income (AGI) by 0.902. Is there a minimum social security tax? No, there is no minimum social security tax. What is “gross income” and how does it affect tax liabilities? “Gross income” is defined in section 6601(a)(4)(H) of the Code. The gross income that is subject to social security deductions for the taxable year is the amount of gross income subject to the exclusion or deduction, as applicable. Example. You have worked hard, and you earned a “gross income” of 90,000. You may deduct your contributions towards the social security tax deducted in box 3 on your Schedule A to file as an individual or on a Form 1040 with a Part I Schedule H. However, because the “gross income” that is subject to the exclusion or deduction is based on your adjusted gross income (AGI), your “gross income” is 100,000.

When a taxpayer files Form 14157-A (Form 14157-A, Taxpayer Return by Certified Copy, with or without Signature) with the IRS it is submitted to the Department of the Treasury who then either receives the completed form back that afternoon, or forwards the form to the appropriate regional office. In both cases the return itself is then returned to the taxpayer within 72 hours of its receipt. On the day of the return the taxpayer's Form 14157-A is delivered to the tax processing facility in the mail. Depending on which facility you are at, the taxpayer will either receive a letter from the processing facility, or your call will be returned because it has not arrived at that facility. Either way, the return will be mailed out to the tax return preparer or auditor. If the taxpayer's Form 14157-A is returned to the taxpayer, we will forward the return to the taxpayer's local post office. The taxpayer will either receive the letter directly or your call will be returned because you are outside the IRS service area. In this scenario we would not consider your request. If the taxpayer's Form 14157-A is not returned to the taxpayer, the taxpayer will go to their local post office and receive a letter from their local post office notifying them that their Form 14157-A has been returned to the IRS and also that they should be expecting a Form 14157-A. The taxpayer can then be assured of a timely receipt of their Form 14157-A. Once the taxpayer's Form 14157-A is received by the tax processing facility we will forward the form to your taxpayer service center. If the taxpayer's paper Form 14157-A is not returned within 72 hours we will forward a return to your taxpayer service center. If your taxpayer service center does not receive the timely return we will contact you to provide instructions on the appropriate way to submit the Form 14157-A. Can Form 14157-A be corrected after it has been submitted? Yes. We will not accept a copy of the paper Form 14157-A, but we will always accept a complete copy of the taxpayer's paper return. If your taxpayer services center accepts an incomplete copy of Form 14157-A we will accept a “Corrected” copy. Corrected Form 14157-A does not have the date it is prepared and therefore can be used to document prior year information. We have been told that taxpayers are often instructed to use the “Updated” date, but we disagree.

Federal Register Page Number: The form is published in the Federal Register and is available from the online Federal Register Search. How is a Form 14157-A report filed? The reporting requirements for Form 14157-A report is found in Sections 16.409 through 16.417 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Can Form 14157-A be filed by an institution of higher education? Yes. A Form 14157-A may be filed by a financial institution when the institution is required or authorized by certain provisions of the Code to file reports under Section 16.409, 16.4111, or 16.4211 of the Code. Will a Form 14157-A report be filed if the student enrolled on or after September 29, 2002? Yes. Under Section 16.41(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, any college or university which, as of September 29, 2002, enrolled the student in an eligible degree program of an institution of higher education shall be considered an institution of higher education for purposes of reporting on a Form 2865. Will my institution be required to file a Form 14157-A report? Federal reporting requirements generally apply to institutions that receive or disburse federal funds. Accordingly, an institution may be required to file a Form 14157-A report for the years in which it is an institution of higher education. However, a college or university that is not funded by the federal government will not have to file a Form 14157-A report (regardless of whether it receives or disburses federal funds) until March 1, 2004. Institutions that are not funded by the federal government and which do not receive or disburse federal funds after that date will not be required to file either of the reports. How are colleges or universities notified that the United States is making a new change to information available concerning students? When new information is required to be reported or made available to colleges and universities because the Department of Education has determined that this information is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, the institution must report the notice by submitting a new report form. What types of reports are required and what reporting methods are available? There is separate information about reporting requirements and filing and payment of income taxes as well as a separate summary of Form 14157-A reporting methods. These are located in a separate publication on our website.

In 2000, there were 2,569,100 persons filing the Form 14157-A, up from 2,465,600 when this exemption was created to replace the exclusion on taxable interest and dividends. The average annual percentage of those who itemize their deductions was 25.6% (3.5% for couples filing jointly who do not have an eligible dependent). In 2008, there were 2,522,600 new filers in the second largest income tax bracket (more than 46,000) in 2009, and an estimated 26,550 new filers who filed in the highest income tax bracket in 2010. So the total share of those in the income tax bracket that itemize grew by 5% to 1,869,100 (the total is more than 7 million). The share of total income taxes paid by those in the highest tax bracket has actually fallen over the last five years, while the share in the second highest tax bracket has actually increased. But the changes in the second tax bracket are somewhat more modest for that group. That is likely due to changes in the method that was introduced in 2009 to allocate this group's deductions. As part of this change, the income brackets would become more equal for the second tax bracket. Does the exclusion on interest and dividends have any effect on capital gains taxes? As with other types of personal income taxes, the exclusion on interest and dividends does have an effect on capital gains taxes. Specifically, a capital gains tax is paid whether the amount of interest or dividends paid exceeds the amount of the capital gains. In general, the longer the investment lasts, the lower the capital gains tax rate. In contrast, if interest or dividends are less than the gain, no interest or dividends will be taxed as a foreign source gain. Generally, the more the interest or dividends are paid over a longer period, the lower the capital gains tax rate will be. The exclusion is not the only change to the tax system that affects the income tax component of the federal income tax system. The tax rates on individual income tax returns for 2009 and 2010 were as follows: The top capital gains rate will be 28% in 2009 and 31% in 2010. Since capital gains are usually taxed at 15% or 15.5%, these rates will reduce the tax on many gains. As the rates rise, however, dividends and interest, which are taxed as ordinary income, will increase.

Yes, you must notify us by November 1 to file an amendment form for Form 14157-A or to amend another information return for which you have filed an amended form. What does this tax form mean? This form is used to determine the tax liability for the tax year. We use it for income taxes, Medicare and Social Security taxes withheld from your paycheck, and employment taxes, including excise taxes and the employer's share of Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes withheld from your pay.

The first line of the form allows you to enter your tax year number at the beginning of the line for the tax year you are filing (see the illustration of Form 14157-A to the right). This line will appear to the right of the box for the applicable tax year of interest for purposes of determining the amount of refundable credits, withholding and estimated tax payments you can claim. We will use this line to work out your tax liability. Line 2 allows you to enter a value for any item or activity from the list it contains. A value of 0 means that you aren't required to list any tax-related items or activities. A value of 1 means that you should list tax-related items or activities except charitable contributions, deductions, and tax shelters. Enter the tax-related item or activity in the applicable box in line 2 of Form 14157-A and enter the appropriate amount in the field indicated by the asterisk ().
