Some staffers from President Donald Trump's administration have reportedly seen their tax bills spike as they're being asked to pay payroll taxes deferred by the president.
Politico reported that members of Trump's administration have been receiving letters asking them to pay Social Security taxes that were deferred, with at least one bill reaching $1,500.
"If the indebtedness is not paid in full within 30 calendar days, we intend to forward this debt to the Department of Treasury, Treasury Offset Program, for further collection," said a copy of a letter sent May 18, 2021, by an accounting officer from the Office of Administration.
Trump set the policy on August 8, 2020, in a memo to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, directing Mnuchin to defer some payroll taxes to "put money directly in the pockets of American workers" who needed it most.

This happened for ALL OF US. And it was announced quite publicly. There should NOT be any surprise or outrage.
But hey, if we can find a way to make Trump look bad - especially if we can find a member of the administration who was unable to do any planning or reading and is now mad about it... why not?

It’s Trump’s fault - if he had won the election, they would’ve had a year to pay back the taxes like the rest of us who couldn’t opt out.
They really should’ve seen this coming in November.
