Yes, for this year. If your social security is taxable on your federal return, the same amount will be taxable on your West Virginia tax return.

A new law was passed to change that, but it is effective January 1, 2020. That means your social security may be taxed on this season's state return, but the one you file next year will not tax your social security benefits.

Social security benefits are not always taxed on the federal return. Up to 85% of your social security can be added to your taxable income, depending on the amount of additional income on your tax return.

WV Social Security formula might be incorrect?

My question is related but for a more current tax year. I thought that social security is not taxable for joint filers making under $100k in 2023, but the turbo tax program is taxing it since it was taxable on the federal return. This doesn’t seem correct. Does the WV tax program need updated? Does anyone know?
