It depends on the deduction.
Most common deductions such as medical premiums reduce SS taxable wages.
But salary-deferal types of deductions do not. For example, employee contributions to a 401lk or Simple IRA do not reduce SS taxable wages.

Deductions reduce the amount of your income that is taxed. This means that your taxes are reduced by a percentage of the deduction.Example:10% tax rate on $10,000 of taxable income is $1,000. You are eligible for a deduction of $2,000, so your taxable income is reduced to $8,000. 10% tax rate on $8,000 of taxable income is $800. At 10% tax rate you saved $200 (deduction x tax rate percentage).Once the tax is calculated, your tax can be reduced by tax credits. Tax credits reduce your tax dollar for dollar which means a $100 tax credit reduces your tax by $100.

Supplemental security income (SSI) is not taxable income.
Adjusted gross income is calculated before the standard deduction is applied. The standard deduction is then subtracted from the adjusted gross income to determine the taxable income.
Social Security deductions from your paycheck typically stop when you reach the maximum taxable earnings limit set by the Social Security Administration for that year. Once you earn above this limit, which can change annually, any additional income is not subject to Social Security taxes. Additionally, when you reach full retirement age and begin receiving Social Security benefits, your deductions may cease depending on your employment status. However, if you continue to work after retirement age, deductions may still apply if your earnings exceed the threshold.
SSI payments are not subject to Federal taxes so you will not receive an annual form SSA-1099.However, if you also receive Social Security benefits, they may be subject to incometaxes.
An example of an income deduction is the mortgage interest deduction, which allows homeowners to deduct the interest paid on their mortgage from their taxable income. This can significantly reduce the amount of taxable income, leading to lower overall taxes. Other common deductions include student loan interest and contributions to retirement accounts like a 401(k).
