When do I pay taxes on my social security retirement? Every month or at the end of the year?

If you receive Social Security Retirement Benefits, at the end of the year you will receive a form SSA-1099 to report this on your tax return. 

 

Depending on what other income you receive, you may or may not be taxed on your Social Security income.   If your only income is Social Security, you are not required to file a tax return.  Just keep your SSA-1099 for your records.

 

If you do have other income, here's details to help you determine Is My Social Security Taxable?

 

Here's How to Enter Form SSA-1099 in TurboTax:

 

  1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax.
  2. In the search bar, search for the term Social Security benefits and then select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
  3. On the screen Did you receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits in 20XX? answer Yes and select Continue.
  4. On the next screen, check the box beside Social Security benefits (Form SSA-1099), then enter the amounts from your form(s) in the boxes provided.
