While IRA Distributions do not directly affect your Social Security Benefits, they do add to your total Income which does affect how much of your Social Security Benefits will be taxed. Depending on your Filing Status, there are income thresholds ($25,000 for Single, $32,00 for MFJ), 50% of your benefit will be subject to tax. After reaching $34,000 (Single) or $44,000 (MFJ) 85% of your benefit will be taxed at your ordinary rate.
