Now a part of history, the payroll tax break lightened the load of Social Security taxes by 2 percentage points in 2011 and 2012. When it was eliminated as part of the fiscal cliff deal, many economists warned it would have an adverse effect on the economy.
The new higher rate, which went into effect at the beginning of 2013 applies to the first $113,700 of earned income.
