Some people who get Social Security must pay federal income taxes on their benefits. But, no one pays taxes on more than 85 percent of their Social Security benefits. You must pay taxes on your benefits if you file a federal tax return as an âindividualâ and your âcombined incomeâ exceeds $25,000. If you file a joint return, you must pay taxes if you and your spouse have âcombined incomeâ of more than $32,000. If you are married and file a separate return, you probably will have to pay taxes on your benefits. See Benefits Planner: Income Taxes and Your Social Security Benefits for more information.
FICA Taxes. FICA taxes are the combined total of Social Security and Medicare taxes you pay on certain sources of income. These taxes are withheld at flat percentage rates, based on your total earnings subject to FICA. FICA payments withheld are converted to credits and posted to your Social Security account. These credits determine the amount of Social Security benefits you receive during retirement.
