Do You Have To Pay Tax On Your Social Security Benefits?

by | Dec 4, 2022 | Spousal IRA | 22 comments




If you look at your most recent paycheck, you are going to see a guy by the name of “FICA” subtracting money from your take-home pay. Part of that FICA tax is sent to the Social Security system, which entitles you to receive Social Security payments when you retire. The unfortunate news is that, even though it was a tax that you paid while you were working, most retirees will have to pay some form of Income Tax on it. So, it’s a tax you pay on a tax? Pretty much!

In this video, I will be covering:

• The percent of your Social Security benefit that will be taxable
• The tax rate that you pay on your Social Security benefits
• The Social Security earned income penalty
• State income tax exceptions
• Withholding taxes from your Social Security payments

    That's not right! Why do we Have to post texts twice? That makes no sense! That should be illegal

    Seniors had their entire working lives to save. They shouldn't be dependent on the SS taxes their children pay to support themselves. SS is Federal welfare and should be abolished.

    I never paid taxes on my social security benefits.And I have been on it for years. I'm 72years old .

    As a rule, retirement shouldn't be treated as income because the person isn't working anymore. But we don't live in a sane world, do we? We live in a world ruled by useless people who have to steal our money because they aren't competent enough to earn their own legitimately. That's my working definition of "politician".

    I don't pay taxes at all anymore, on anything. Not even Property Tax. As i know it in my state, there is no tax on Social Security.
