Whether or not your Social Security income is taxable depends on your total income, including your Social Security plus any other income. It is often not included in your taxable income.
For those with additional sources of income, the key figure is the Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI). The MAGI includes half of your Social Security, plus other sources of income. Once your MAGI exceeds the base amount for your filing status ($32,000 for Married Filing Jointly or $25,000 for all others), at least part of your Social Security income becomes taxable. The taxable portion of your Social Security income increases once you reach additional MAGI thresholds.
If you enter your Form SSA-1099 in the Retirement Plans and Social Security section, TurboTax will calculate if part of your social security should be included in your taxable income.
