Hello, thank you for your question.  The amount taxed on social security depends on how much social security benefits received and total income from all sources.  I am going to include a couple helpful links.  The first is from the irs and how social security is taxed.  The second is a TurboTax article that explains a little more detail.  The third is refund estimator.  This will help you see what your tax situation will look like based on estimates so you can pick the proper witholdings.  I hope this helps and I answered your question.
