Retirement tax questions

The calculation of taxable Social Security benefits hasn't changed in years. It's not likely to change for 2022. Any calculation you do using the 2021 rules will be very close, if not exact, for 2022. You didn't say what kind of 1099 income you have. Any possible variation in your 1099 income will make more of a difference than any changes in the Social Security Benefits Worksheet.


Also note that the maximum taxable amount is 85% of your Social Security benefits. If your other income is high enough that you hit the 85% maximum, it's going to stay at 85%. You don't need a worksheet to figure that out.


Don't play around with your 2021 tax return in TurboTax Online. Do the calculation manually with the IRS worksheet, or use the calculator that DoninGA suggested.
