Do you pay taxes on all or part of your social security benefits?

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.


Do you have to pay income tax on social security income?

Yes. However, it is subject to a very complicated formula that takes into account what your total income is and takes into account certain non-taxable income such as municipal bond interest. And the whole amount of your Social Security payment is not taxable. A maximum of 85% of your payment is taxable. (Don't misunderstand this statement, the tax rate is NOT 85%.) If you really want to know if your benefits will be taxable, fill out the Social Security Benefits Worksheet on page 27 of the Form 1040 instructions: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf You can also find an online calculator at the end of this article: http://www.smartmoney.com/personal-finance/taxes/will-your-social-security-benefits-be-taxed-again-21987/
