Question

Taxable Income

I am wondering how come my Social Security Income - Taxable verses Nontaxable is so drastically different from last year to this year.

2018: Taxable = 12,279 & NON-taxable = 11,805

2019: Taxable = 21,237 & NON-taxable = 3,748

That depends on your other income. Anywhere from 0-85% can be taxable. That is calculated on the "Social Security Benefits Worksheet". Print all form and worksheets and compare that worksheet for both years and you shiuld see your answer.

you're in the situation where your SS is taxed to the max - 85%

There's nothing you can do about it, unless you made a data entry error somewhere.
