How do I figure out what I might possibly owe from both in 2024? I am taxing my soc security 22%.

The Social Security might not be taxable depending how much other income you have. You are having 22% taken out for federal withholding? That should cover any tax on your SS.

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

Do i figure out the tax separately to see if I might owe, or do I combine income to estimate? My work earnings are over the allowable, so prob 85% taxed. Is there a worksheet you know of to estimate what my fed tax should be between the 2?

@Jvisme just use this website.

you can make two passes at it.

1) social security and work income on the first pass

2) work income on the 2nd pass; do not include the SS income

the difference between the two is the tax on SS.

the combination of the two is what you would owe.

and it may be better to use the IRS Withholding Estimator - it is quite accurate. Have you latest paystub and social security payment handy. it will determine how to complete your W-4 so that you do not owe at the end of the year.

You can use TaxCaster to get an estimate of your 2024 tax. It's still set up for 2023, but it will be pretty close.

If you are using the CD/Download TurboTax software you can use the What-If Worksheet in forms mode to estimate your 2024 tax. Check the box at the top of the column to use 2024 tax rates.
