If you received income from sources other than Social Security, your benefits will not be taxed unless your modified adjusted gross income is more than the base amount for your filing status.

  • For a single taxpayer the base amount (cap) is $25,000.
  • If your total AGI is $25-34,000, you will pay tax on 50% of your Social Security benefits
  • If your total AGI is above $34,000, you will pay tax on 85% of your benefits
  • For married couples filing jointly, the base amount is $32,000
  • If your total AGI is $32-$44,000, you will pay tax on 50% of your Social Security benefits
  • If your total AGI is above $44,000, you will pay tax on 85% of your benefits

If the husband is 67 and retired and the wife is 61 and he draws social security and she works and makes 50000year is their income added together and then he is taxed on his social security?

No, not for the sake of earnings. If the individual is over 66 chances are he is full-retirement age so his earnings will not change the amount of checks he is due to receive. Her earnings will be paid to her social security number, so they will not make a difference to his check.As far as their income being added together, that would only be considered by the IRS when filing their taxes. Will not affect wages paid to a social security number from by an employer.


How much do social workers pay on taxes?

Social workers pay the same taxes as anybody else. The tax rate varies based on total income from all sources, number of dependents, marital status, and the amount of deductions and credits to which the social worker is entitled. State tax rates depend upon which state the social worker lives and works in. Social workers who work for state and local governments in some states (like all government employees in those states) may be exempt from Social Security taxes. Social workers who work for certain religious groups that are exempt from Social Security may find themselves having to pay self-employment taxes.


You are currently self employed and make a monthly payment to the IRS for some back taxes Can you still retire and start collecting Social Security as long as you continue to make your back tax paymen?

The IRS seems to be happy as long as they get their money. Lots of people have retired and started collecting Social Security while paying back taxes. I have no idea how it works, but I know people who have done it.

Divorced after a marriage of 32 yrs your husband has remarried need to know how can you get survivor benefits from your husband's pension since yours was a Lifetime marriage?

This should have been in your divorce decree, if it was a pension from the company he works for. However, the pension rules may not allow it to continue to a divorced spouse, even if he is willing. For Social Security pensions, you can receive benefits if you were married over ten years, based on his income. However, if you remarry before you are 63, you are not entitled to a portion of your ex-husband's social security benefit, but rather the best of your own or the new husband's. This matters if you were at home all those years and the next guy has not earned as much; mine differs by about $500 a month. You will need to know the husband's social security number to get benefits when you retire.


What does the money form social security taxes fund?

Social security is basically when the government takes a certain percentage of money from the working generation and gives it to the retired generation. When the working generation become retired, they receive social security. Social security started after the Great Depression, when the government needed to make sure that people had money stored away to live after they stopped working. People get certain amounts of social security depending on how much they and their spouses worked as young people, as well as what jobs and how much they gave to social security. The current problem with social security is that the baby boomers are now becoming retired, and there are more of them than the current generation of working people. There is not enough money to support these retiring people, and unless the government subsidies social security or takes other measures, it is likely to fall apart before people currently in their 30s and 40s become retired. So basically, the idea of how social security works is that you put away money and you will get that money when you retire.
