    We cannot see your tax return or your screen and you have provided no other information about your income.

    Her SS may or may not be taxable.

     

    Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:

    Married Filing Jointly: $32,000

    Single or head of household: $25,000

    Married Filing Separately: 0

     

    She can have withholding taken out of her SS.
