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.
Until now, the Social Security wage base has increased in each of the last four years. Social security taxes, (or OASDI taxes) are the taxes that are taken from your paycheck to contribute to the social security program. However, there is a wage base limit, and earnings above this amount are not taxed. The social security tax wage bases are per person, and are not impacted by a husband and wife who meet the wage base when adding their incomes together. Any earnings over the tax wage base are not subject to social security taxes.
