Deductions & credits

There is not a separate tax rate for Social Security.  The taxable amount just adds to your total income and taxed at your regular rate.   If your total income increased it can push you into a higher tax bracket.  And if you other income increased it will make more of your SS taxable.

 

Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:

Married Filing Jointly: $32,000

Single or head of household: $25,000

Married Filing Separately: 0
