Sgmdae,

Depending on your total household income is what decides if your SSD will be taxed.

If you think it will be, then you can elect to have 10 percent taken out each check to cover your federal taxes. We don't tax SSD in Oregon so don't know if you can do the same for your state.

The following is taken from a topic created by Brianwl on the VBN site in the Finance Forum. It is a very simple explanation that seems to help:

Some people have to pay federal income taxes on their SocialSecurity benefits. This usually happens only if you have other substantial income (such as wages, self-employment, interest, dividends and other taxable income that must be reported on your tax return) in addition to your benefits.

No one pays federal income tax on more than 85 percent of his or her Social Security benefits based on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules. If you:

- file a federal tax return as an "individual" and your combined income is

between $25,000 and $34,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits.

More than $34,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable.

- file a joint return, and you and your spouse have a combined income that is

between $32,000 and $44,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits.

More than $44,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable.

- are married and file a separate tax return, you probably will pay taxes on your benefits.

Note:

- Your adjusted gross income

+ Nontaxable interest

+ ½ of your Social Security benefits

= Your "combined income"

- Each January you will receive a Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099) showing the amount of benefits you received in the previous year. You can use this Benefit Statement when you complete your federal income tax return to find out if your benefits are subject to tax.

- If you do have to pay taxes on your Social Security benefits, you can make quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS or choose to have federal taxes withheld from your benefits.
