My husband earns $250k a yr so social security tax falls off his check around July. If I work PT ($30k/yr)will we have to automatically owe an additional $7960 in SS Tax?

Yes, social security is an individual deduction from payroll, based just on that individuals earnings. It makes no difference if your spouse has maxed out their own Social Security withheld. The amount you have withheld is what will be credited to your social security account for retirement.

Are you getting a W-2? Or is your income reported on a 1099Misc?

He maxes out SS, but YOU haven't maxed out SS...your income will still be subject to SS taxes.

Social Security tax is assessed on each individual person. Collectively you'll pay more tax but the additional amount will be based on your income, not your husband's.
