Will My Benefits Be Taxed?
For many recipients, Social Security benefits are tax-free. But if you have substantial income in addition to your Social Security payments, you might have to pay tax on up to 85 percent of your benefits. The SSA defines income for these purposes as wages, self-employment income, dividends, interest or other taxable income that you’d normally declare when you file your taxes.
