Do I pay federal income tax on social security income? 875 viewsMay 25, 2013Tax 0 Guest60 May 6, 2013 0 Comments My income is mainly social security income. Do you know if I need to pay taxes for that and how much would I need to pay? 1 Answer ActiveVotedNewestOldest 0 Guest60 Posted May 6, 2013 0 Comments It depends on your income. If it exceeds the $25,000, then yes the social security income will be taxable. You are viewing 1 out of 1 answers, click here to view all answers. Register or Login Search for:
