On your W2, why are there two different incomes listed?

Asked by Dutchess_III (46828points) April 29th, 2011

You have an income listed for state and federal taxes, but a different, higher income listed specifically for Social Security taxes. Why is that? I know that it means you pay disproportionally more in SS taxes because of it, but why they do that?
