Get your taxes done using TurboTax

This is just a guess, but are you on Social Security?

 

  • If you are, the difference between Married Filling Jointly and Married Filling Separate can be devastating.
  • If they are married filing jointly, they should take half of their Social Security, plus half of their spouse's Social Security, and add that to all their combined income. If that total is more than $32,000, then part of their Social Security may be taxable.
  • Married filing separately and lived with their spouse at any time during 2023.  All income and up to 85% of Social Security is taxable.

You can see the amount of taxable Social Security on line 6b of your form 1040.

 

You can preview your tax return by going to:

 

  1. On the menu bar on the left that shows.
  2. Select Tax Tools
  3. On the drop-down select Tools
  4. On the popup menu
  5. Select View Tax Summary
  6. On the left sidebar
  7. Select Preview my 1040.
  8. Schedules 1,2&3 are included if you scroll down past your 1040.
  9. To return to the entry screens press Back on the sidebar.
