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

Social Security benefits received are shown on Form 1040 Line 20a.  The taxable portion of Social Security is shown on Form 1040 Line 20b.
