On Nov. 27, 2017, the Social Security Administration (SSA) announced that it had revised the maximum amount of earnings subject to the Social Security tax for 2018, replacing the amount originally announced in October. Beginning Jan. 1, 2018, the new taxable-maximum amount will be $128,400—not $128,700, as the SSA had previously said.
