Taxes on Social Security income

Do you have any other income besides the SS?   If your ONLY income is Social Security you do not even need to file a tax return.   Please provide some details--without any of your personal information.

Taxes on Social Security income

If your only income is Social Security, you won't owe any tax.  but if you also receive retirement income, sell stocks, rental income, etc. it is possible that up to 85% of your Social Security will be taxed and it is a good idea to withhold on your Social Security payments.

 

 

Here is further information and tips on Social Security:
