    Social Security benefits can be taxable on a federal tax return if you have other taxable income to report.  There is no age limit on the benefits received being taxable.

    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

    This is correct, but just to clarify: it's "up to" 85%. It starts at a smaller percentage and goes up depending on income, to the max of 85%.
