Part of it may OR may not be taxable, depending on your other income and filing status. You should go ahead and enter his SSA-1099 in TurboTax (Federal Taxes, Wages & Income, Retirement Plans & Social Security) to see if it's taxable. Please note that filing separately will likely make *more* of his SS check taxable; you should still file a joint return.
