Retirement tax questions

They don't just change your SS taxable amount.  What happened was they increased some other income on your return which made more of the SS taxable.  Usually they change the taxable amount of any 401k or IRA distributions or conversions you got.  Did you get any 1099R forms?  Check 1040 lines 15b and 16b.  Or  you completely left out some other income you got.
