Tax Deferral Executive Order Message
September 3, 2020
An executive order was signed by President Trump on August 8, 2020 calling for a deferral of certain payroll tax obligations. These pertain only to the OASDI (Old-age, survivor, and disability insurance), commonly referred to as Social Security. Here at Santa Fe ISD, we do not collect Social Security Tax; therefore, there is no change in the policies and procedures of payroll. You will not see a reduction in income taxes withheld since the Presidential Memorandum does not cover these. Please click on the link to view a copy of the details of this executive order. If you have any questions please feel free to email us at payroll@sfisd.org.
If the IRS issues additional guidance that clarifies the deferral of taxes, we will keep you abreast of the changes and the impact on your compensation and employment taxes.
