    Or are you asking about the tax on Social Security checks you get?  You get a SSA-1099 for Social Security payments.

     

    Up to 85% of Social Security becomes taxable when all your other income plus 1/2 your social security, reaches:

    Married Filing Jointly: $32,000

    Single or head of household: $25,000

    Married Filing Separately: 0

    Your Social Security wages reported on box 3 of the W-2 are taxed at 6.2% and the taxable amount is reported in box 4.
