Preparing to Submit as a Beneficiary
If an individual’s total income exceeds $25,000 or a married couple filing jointly exceeds $32,000, federal income taxes must be paid on Social Security benefits. Your benefits’ taxability depends on your income level.
If you file a federal tax return as a “individual” and your income is:
- If your income falls between $25,000 and $34,000, you might be required to pay income tax on a portion of your benefits.
- If your income exceeds $34,000, a portion of your benefits could be subject to taxation, potentially up to 85%.
If you and your spouse file a joint return, your combined income is as follows:
- If your income falls between $32,000 and $44,000, you might be required to pay income tax on as much as 50% of your benefits.
- If your income exceeds $44,000, you may need to pay taxes on up to 85% of your benefits.
