So the law doesnt lie.....Social Security (Employment and/or self-employment) means "gross income".
So the earnings from participation of Social Security are in essence "gross income" as computed under subtitle A?
So if you dont participate in Social Security then the earnings are not derived from "employment" or "self-employment" (aka Social Security) and therefore do not fall under subtitle A's "gross income"...........NOT TAXABLE INCOME!
They are not considered "income" for the purpose of Title 26.
But I already knew this! http://www.community.defendindepende...t=605&start=10
A Section 218 Agreement is a written voluntary agreement between a State and the Social Security Administration to provide Social Security and Medicare Hospital Insurance (HI) or Medicare coverage only for employees of State and local governments. This agreement is authorized under Section 218 of the Social Security Act. Employees covered under a Section 218 Agreement have the same coverage and benefit rights as employees in the private sector. All States have a Section 218 Agreement, but the extent of coverage varies. http://www.ssa.gov/slge/faqs.htm#a0=0
I like StSC to be where people can find practical and theoretical merged into prosperity. Especially in the application process it does not go over well to say, I do not participate in Social Security.
