The taxes that you are paying now for for the social security and medicare insurance program are being used to pay for the benefits that the current beneficiaries are receiving at this time and also some of the amount is being put into a trust fund that has some government assets for use in the future for your insurance benefits.

Yes it is very possible that you would be required to pay some taxes on your wages and on your gross social security benefits that you have received for the year Enter the total amount from box 5 of all your Forms SSA-1099 ON LINE 20a of the 1040 tax form.

You will NOT know the correct answer until you have completed your 1040 federal income tax return correctly.

You will use the 1040 federal income tax return to report all of your worldwide gross income. Your wages earning amount would be entered on the 1040 tax form page 1 Line 7 wages, salaries, tips, etc $$$$$.

The annual social security amount from the SSA-1099 net amount in box 5 will be entered on the 1040 tax return page 1 Line 20a $$$$$ Then you will use the worksheet that is in the 1040 instruction book page 29 social security benefits worksheet Line 20a and 20b to determine if any of your SSB amount is taxable income that would have to be entered on the 20b IF any of the SSB becomes taxable income on your income tax return for the year.

After you complete your 1040 federal income tax return correctly to your TAXABLE INCOME and page 2 lines 43 and Line 44 you will know the amount of your income liability before any credits or other taxes.

Continue from Line 45 to the last lines at the bottom of the 1040 page 2 and then you will know how much taxes you will have to pay if any after you complete your 1040 income tax return correctly.

Go to the IRS gov website and use the search box for each form that need for this purpose.
