What do you mean? That he personally is responsible for a tax on Social Security? If so, no. The tax has been on social security for years before Gore was in office. A Vice President doesn't have the power to do something like that anyway.

Can your mother who has never worked collect social security?

No. There really is no such thing as "unused" benefits. If a person pays FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes but dies before he or she can collect benefits, his or her widow or widower and minor children, or adult children disabled before age 22 (if applicable) can collect monthly checks for survivors' benefits. Able-bodied adult children or those who became disabled after age 22 cannot collect benefits from their mother's Social Security (FICA) contributions. The unpaid amount remains in the Social Security trust fund.


Are Social Security retirement benefits the only Entitlement Program benefits where individuals and their employers directly contribute money for that sole purpose?

I think the answer is no. The reason I say I think that is because that's not quite exactly how Social Security really works, and if that statement is true of Social Security it's probably also true of, say, unemployment insurance and in some states state disability insurance.

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. If you really want the details, refer to the worksheet on page 27 of the Form 1040 instructions: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf

As a widow getting checks every month for myself and my son do I include Social Security Survivor Benefits as income on Form 1040?

If Social Security Survivor Benefits are your only source of income, your benefits probably aren't taxable. The monthly check is usually paid to the surviving parent. But the benefit really is for the child. If you have no other income, a quick check is to compare one-half of the total benefit amount with the base amount of $25,000 for Single filing status. If half of the benefit amount is less than $25,000, then the benefit isn't taxable. A Social Security Benefits Worksheet is included in 2208 Form 1040 instructions on p. 27 (p. 28 for 2009 Form 1040 instructions). Also, go to www. irs.gov/taxtopics for Topic 423 (Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits). Go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 915 (Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits).
