I got a new tax table from Quickbooks today. Looks like Social Security wage limits are going up - from $132,900 to $137,700. It's not much but it's a good start.

I've searched and can not find how this came about. Was it part of tax cut?

No, it’s indexed. They go up every year.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

First time I've noticed it.

Indexed to what?

Social Security Benefit Base

Changes based on a wage index. It's gone up every year recently, but 2016 and the recession years 2010 and 2011.

I think generally speaking it’s higher than the normal CPI (CPI-U).

Interesting chart. It doubled between 76 and 82.

And only broke 100k about a decade ago.
