The official print number for this legislation is HR 8819.
Tax Refunds for Religious Employees Opposing Social Security and Medicare.
This bill allows employees who are members of religious faiths opposing government insurance programs to receive a refund or tax credit for federal insurance taxes (Social Security and Medicare) deducted from their wages. If enacted, this change extends existing exemptions, primarily available to the self-employed, to cover eligible employees. This means certain individuals could keep money currently deducted for these programs.
Key points
Employees belonging to specific religious groups can apply for a refund of Social Security and Medicare taxes.
The refund covers taxes deducted directly from the employee's paycheck, increasing their take-home pay.
To qualify, employees must file an application for authorization, following rules similar to those for self-employed individuals.
