You are taxed the same way everyone else is ... if you have enough taxable income then you will pay taxes.  Complete a return to see if you owe or get a refund.

You are not taxed any differently.  If you are 65 or older you get an extra higher Standard Deduction.

For 2019 the Standard Deduction is

Joint 24,400+ 1,300 for each 65 and over or blind

Married filing Separate 12,200 + 1,300 for 65 and over or blind

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
