Best Answer

Social Security is taxable when your provisional income exceeds a base amount of $25,000 for single taxpayers and $32,000 for married / head of household taxpayers. Up to 50%, but no more than 85%, of your Social Security benefits can be taxable in a calendar year.

What is withheld from Social Security Benefits?

Sometimes, people are surprised to find out that their social security benefits are taxable. For the person who may only make $30,000 a year and receive social security benefits, getting taxed on these benefits can be a huge burden. To avoid any unfortunate surprises, some tax planning is required on the part of an individual. You can prepare for any taxes on social security benefits by having a portion of your social security benefits withheld from a paycheck. There are different amounts of money you may choose to have withheld from a paycheck. You may choose to have anywhere between 7% to 25% of your benefits withheld.


What part of my social security is untaxed?

Non-taxable means you don't have to pay tax on the benefits. The formula for calculating how much of your Social Security benefits are non-taxable is extremely convoluted and involves re-calculating your taxes and adding back in certain non-taxable payments like municipal bond interest and depends on your marital status and filing status. Anywhere from 15% to 100% of your Social Security benefits can be non-taxable.
