If you receive Social Security Retirement Benefits, at the end of the year you will receive a form SSA-1099 to report this on your tax return.
Depending on what other income you receive, you may or may not be taxed on your Social Security income. If your only income is Social Security, you are not required to file a tax return. Just keep your SSA-1099 for your records.
