Question: how much of my social security benefit may be taxed?
Answer: Depending on your income and filing status, up to 85% of your Social Security benefit can be taxable: If you're single, a combined income between $25,000 and $34,000 means that up to 50% of your benefits could be taxable. A combined income greater than $34,000 means that up to 85% of your benefits could be taxable.
