Nonresident Alien Tax Withholding

THINGS THIS TOOL WILL NOT DO:

  • Access your personal Social Security records.
  • Make binding determinations.
  • Allow you to make changes to your claim or benefits.
  • Start or stop withholding taxes from your benefits. You must contact the Social Security Administration to start or stop withholding taxes from your benefits. We may ask you to complete forms or provide evidence before we change your tax withholding.
  • Determine whether we can pay your Social Security benefits to you outside the United States. The Payments Abroad Screening Tool will help you learn if your Social Security benefits will continue when you leave the United States.
  • Determine your tax liabilities to the IRS or the tax authority of any other country. This tool is not to be used as tax guidance. For tax guidance and information about your U.S. tax liability, visit IRS's website.
