If you file jointly and your combined income is $32,000 to $44,000, up to 50% of your Social Security may be taxable. With combined income over $44,000, up to 85% of Social Security could be taxable.

I have the same question.  I retired in August and collected a couple of months Social security with no earned income after I retired.  I was told there is an exemption for the first year so the social security is not taxable?  Turbo tax is telling me most of it is taxable.  Is that correct?
