In most places, the taxation is based on your total income, not just the portion from social security.
You only have to pay tax on your Social Security income if your total taxable income is $25,000 or more for a single taxpayer, or $32,000 or more for a couple filing jointly. If your total income is below that amount, then you do not have to pay tax on your Social Security benefits.
Social Security Taxes are a Proportional Tax. A Percentage of a person's income is paid to Social Security, this is half of the total amount paid to them, the Other half of a person's Social Security Tax is paid by the Employer.
Yes
This depends on the total of your lifetime earnings,
For 2012, the Social Security (FICA) deduction is 6.2%; the Medicare deduction is 1.45%, for a total of 7.65%. The employer pays the same percentages.
All income is taxable unless specifically excluded by law. Even a portion of your Social Security benefits may be taxable if you have sufficient total income.
In the 2013 US federal budget 803 billion dollars were spent on social security. This makes social security sector the one receiving maximum expenditure which is 23 percent of total federal spending.
AnswerHi,Whether or not you are over 65 you have to file a tax return if your income exceeds the total of your standard deduction and your personal exemption. Assuming you are single and over 65 for 2007 your standard deduction is $6,650 and your personal exemption is $3,400 or a total of $10,500. If your income other than social security exceeds that amount, you are required to file a tax return.Up to 85% of social security benefits can be taxable depending upon the amount of your other income. If you are single and the total of half of your social security plus all your other income exceeds $25,000, some of your social security is taxable.Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,Carole http://en.allexperts.com/q/Tax-Law-Questions-932/Social-Security-Filing-Taxes.htm
No. Social Security benefits by itself would not be taxable income to you. Social Security is only taxable if you have other income in excess of certain thresholds. Since you have no other income, your Social Security is not be taxable.
No. Social Security Administration doesn't use W-2 forms. The form they use is called SSA-1099, which is a Social Security Benefit Statement. It's issued by the Social Security Administration. It reports the total amount of benefits that the recipient received in the previous year.To get a replacement SSA-1099 if yours hasn't come in the mail, you can visit or call your local Social Security office, or use your online "My Social Security" account (you will have to register if you haven't already).
