Social Security Benefits are sometimes taxable depending on how much other income you had for the year and your marital status.
You
don't enter Social Security Benefits as wages. You would have received
an SSA-1099, and you would report it under Retirement Plans and Social
Security, Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099)
-
Tax Formula. Here’s a quick way to find out if you must pay
taxes on your Social Security benefits: Add one-half of your Social
Security to all your other income, including tax-exempt interest. Then
compare the total to the base amount for your filing status. If your
total is more than the base amount, some of your benefits may be
taxable.
-
Base Amounts. The three base amounts are:
- $25,000 – if you are single, head of household, qualifying widow or
widower with a dependent child or married filing separately and lived
apart from your spouse for all of 2014
- $32,000 – if you are married filing jointly
- $0 – if you are married filing separately and lived with your spouse at any time during the year
