Question
Do I have to pay income tax on my Social Security benefits?

Answer
Some people who get Social Security will have to pay taxes on their benefits. Less than one-third of our current beneficiaries pay taxes on their benefits.

You will have to pay federal taxes on your benefits if you file a federal tax return as an "individual" and your total income is more than $25,000. If you file a joint return, you will have to pay taxes if you and your spouse have a total income that is more than $32,000.

Many states and local authorities do not tax Social Security benefits. You should contact your state or local taxing authority for more information.
