Am I paying income tax o the full amount of my Social Security payments?

[leohubby1]

I understand that not all of my social Security is taxable, but I don't know how much is or is not.

The full amount of your Social Security distribution is found on line 6a of your 1040; the taxable amount can be found on line 6b.

There will be a worksheet in the papers with your return that shows the calculation. However, if you want, you can use an IRS webpage to calculate it.
