This answer implies that tax withholding on IRA Distributions after age 66 and tax withheld on Social Security Income are taxed the same as a pay check when one is still working. I need more of an answer to my initial question. Do I need to restate that question or is it visible to whomever answers questions?
Yes they are taxed the same. They are taxed as ordinary income.
But only 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
Thanks for your input VolvoGirl, I did see that information on the FAQ's. I am still looking for something more specific. I need to know what to have held out from each check both IRA and Social Secuity. "Up to 85%" is not specific enough for what I am asking. Is there a tax withholding chart of sorts?
It's complicated, because the tax on Soc Sec benefits depends upon your total other (Joint) income. For example, see this:
