taxable social security

Do  Social security benefits get taxed when I take a distribution from my employee contribution retirement plan

[DoninGA]

The SS benefits can be taxable based on the amount of other income being reported on your tax return.  The retirement plan distribution is taxable income.

Up to 85% of Social Security Retirement/Disability/Survivors benefits 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
