Cavman Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Is this right that we have to pay taxes on SSD if we file with our wife as married filing jointly? Also, if you are married and file separately do you have to claim your SSD? Cavman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think(but I am not sure) filing seperately will get you around the tax, plus if you have to pay any tax, it is likely to cost more by filing seperately. If you are retired military you should be able to go on base and use the free tax filing service, they should be able to answer the question with some authority. Oh.. you can also download all the tax forms and tax instructions for the irs.... that is were I used to get my tax stuff..cause I used to file my own taxes....

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted February 1, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 1, 2007 SSD is taxable once you meet a 32,000 threshold when married I think it is after 16,000. In either case it is when any income including the Social Security goes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick428 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 If you rmarried filing jointly your annual Social Security divided in half is taxable if your total EARNED income exceeds 32K. If your filing seperately, your annual Social Security is divided in half and is taxable if your EARNED income exceeds 25K. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
