do you have other income?

See IRS Pub 501 for who must file based on your income and other circumstances.

Do you get ssi or Social Security?  They are different.  You do not report ssi on your return.  If you get Social Security or SSDI or a SSA-1099 with your ssn you do report it.

 

Enter a SSA-1099, SSA-1099-SM or RRB-1099  under

Federal Taxes on the left side or top

Wages and Income

Then scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security

Social Security (SSA-1099. RRB-1099) - click the Start or Revisit  button

 

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
