No place to select federal withholding when applying online for Social Security

<snip>For those that are wondering, yes - our net income today exceeds that of our employment years...

As will mine starting next year.

I'll just drive to the nearest social security office when it's my turn to file and do all of the paperwork in person.

I hope that your local social security office is better staffed that what our office is. They prefer that you file online yourself or they will give you an appointment for a teleclaim and someone will call you from another office. They do not do in office claims, unless you are very insistent.

There's a whole lot of difference in social security personnel between Megacities and rural communities. The nice folks at the closest SSA office said I could either process my retirement online or in person at their office.

We went to their office last year to ask a few questions. The wait time was two minutes.
