2. It depends on the rest of your income. For some people, none of the SSA benefits are taxable. For others, up to 85% is included in their income. The formula for singles is 1/2 of theSSA benefits plus all other income. If the total is less than $25,000, none of the SSA benefits are taxable. If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, we deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. For 2009, that limit is $14,160.
3. If this is all the income you will have other than Social Security, then no.
4. SS income can be partially taxable depending on your total income - and total joint income if you are married. If half of your ss plus all of your other income is over $25,000, some of the ss is taxable.
