 I am married and filing jointly. Both my wife and I work. I
paid full $5580 Social Security Tax in 2005 which is the
limit. My wife paid about $2000. I know there is a limit
for Social Security Tax. Is the limit for each person or
for a couple? Do we overpaid our Social Security Tax? Can
I get the $2000 back?

Thanks,

qq

Each worker pays into social security up to the limit and only
if any one of the workers pays more than the limit does s/he
get any money back...

The limit is for each person. You did not overpay. You
cannot any of the Social Security tax back.
