Once you hit the threshold for taxable Social Security, the tax will be in your highest tax bracket, and both the Social Security and your other income will be taxed.
The threshold is when all your other income plus 1/2 of your social security reaches:
- Single or Head of Household - $25,000
- Married Filing Jointly - $32,000
- Married Filing Separately - 0
The chart below are the tax brackets for 2023
For a single taxpayer
$0 to $11,000 - 10%
$11,001 to $44,726 - 12%
$44,726 to $95372 - 24%
For Married Filing Jointly
