Retirement tax questions

Yes your SS will be taxable.  But only a part of it.  It will be added to all your other income.   So you should have withholding taken out  of the SS or increase some withholding on something else to cover the tax.  

 

Is your Social Security taxable?

See this Social Security page for taxes on your benefits

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

 

Also if you make too much other income then SS will deduct more for Medicare IRMAA from your SS checks.
