Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act
On February 22, President Obama signed the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (HR 3630). The new law extends through December 2012 a reduction in employment tax rates from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent for employees and the self-employed.
The employee OASDI tax rate was previously reduced from 6.2% to 4.2% by the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-312), which was in effect for 2011.
