Retirement tax questions

Not clear on your question.  You can tell SS how much to take out for federal withholding.  My husband has  withholding and I do not.  Did you get the SSA-1099 form?  That will tell you how much was withheld for federal.  SS is not taxable  on most state returns.    

 

Social Security box 5 will be on your 1040 line 6a and any taxable amount on line 6b.  The withholding will be on line 25b.
