Was my social security payments not considered as income

If you have other income, some of your social security benefits might be taxable.

To calculate the taxable amount, includes half of your Social Security income plus all other sources of income, including any tax-exempt interest and if the total exceeds the base amount for your filing status, a portion of your Social Security income becomes taxable. The three base amounts are:

$25,000 for single, head of household, and qualifying widow or widower with a dependent child or married individuals filing separately who did not live with their spouse at any time during the year
$32,000 for married couples filing jointly
$0 for married persons filing separately who lived together at any time during the year.
