Retirement tax questions

It depends.  The maximum amount of your social security income that can be taxed is 85%. TurboTax calculates this accurately once all of your taxable income has been included in your tax return.  

There are two key components for social security.  

  1. It  could become taxable up to a maximum of 85% depending on your other taxable income.
  2. if half of your social security, combined with your other taxable income is below $25,000 for single ($32,000 for married, or $0 for married filing separate), then none of your social security would count as taxable income.
