FAQ

How Social Security tax is calculated If your combined income is under $25,000 (single) or $32,000 (joint filing), there is no tax on your Social Security benefits. For combined income between $25,000 and $34,000 (single) or $32,000 and $44,000 (joint filing), up to 50% of benefits can be taxed.

You must pay taxes on up to 85% of your Social Security benefits if you file a: Federal tax return as an ?individual? and your ?combined income? exceeds $25,000. Joint return, and you and your spouse have ?combined income? of more than $32,000.

The net amount of social security benefits that you receive from the Social Security Administration is reported in Box 5 of Form SSA-1099, Social Security Benefit Statement, and you report that amount on line 6a of Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return or Form 1040-SR, U.S. Tax Return for Seniors.

Bottom Line. Yes, Social Security is taxed federally after the age of 70. If you get a Social Security check, it will always be part of your taxable income, regardless of your age. There is some variation at the state level, though, so make sure to check the laws for the state where you live.

Income definition Income is anything you receive during a calendar month and can use to meet your needs for food or shelter. It may be in cash or in kind. In-kind income is not cash; it is food or shelter, or something you can use to get food or shelter.
