Hello BJL66,
Thanks for your question. A part time job and social security can get tricky.
Let me assume that you took your social security at full retirement age. That's great because if you get a part time or a full time job, you will not have to pay back any of your social security. Generally speaking, social security is not taxable. It will depend on how much you make at your part time job.
If your combined income is less than $25,000, none of the social security will be taxable. If your combined income is between $25,000 and $34,000, you may have to pay tax on up to 50% of the social security. If your combined income is above $34,000, then up to 85% of your social security can be taxable. This assumes that you are filing as single.
Your tax situation will depend on how much you are earning at your part time job. TurboTax does have an online tool that you can use to estimate your refund / taxes owed. You can input your income from social security and your estimated wages for the year and see what tax you might owe. Here is the link. Note this is for TY 2022. TY 2023 is not yet available.
