Retirement tax questions

@17611198902   Are you still interested and checking this thread?    Also here is my Nov 2024 Notice for how much I will get/got in 2025.  You can get your copy from SS.   The top monthly benefit in 2025 before deductions is the amount that can be taxable.  Multiply that by 12 months.   Up to 85% it can be  taxable depending on your other income.  The amount for Medicare can be a deduction if you itemized on schedule A.
