Hi julia27,

Social Security can be taxed at any age if your income exceeds a certain level.

You report the taxable portion of your social security benefits on your tax return. Your benefits may be taxable if the total of (1) one-half of your benefits, plus (2) all of your other income, including tax-exempt interest, is greater than the base amount for your filing status.
