The answer depends on your total income from all sources (including tax-exempt interest), as well as your filing status. When Social Security is your only income, benefits are generally not taxable. If you have income from other sources as well, up to 85 percent of your benefits can be taxable. We have attached a worksheet to determine if your benefits may be taxable for 2018.
