There is a section left out. The 25K includes 1/2 your Social Security payments. So in reality to get the 25K or 34K you can only have about 10K other income. https://www.ssa.gov/planners/taxes.htmlYour adjusted gross income

= Your "combined incomefile a federal tax return as an "individual" and your combined income* is between $25,000 and $34,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits. more than $34,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable.
You need to make it clear that when you say 50% and 85% that you mean 50% or 85% of your SS benefits are included in taxable income not that they are taxed a 50% or 85%. Most people will be really confused at what you are saying. They will think that the tax rate on their SS will be 50% or 85%. The SS tax rate will be 5.35 percent, 7.05 percent, or 7.85 percent, depending on the total amount of taxable income( of the 50% or 85% included in taxable income) which is much less scarier.
wow nice to know. (:
