Talk:Taxation of Social Security benefits

--Watty 20:50, 28 January 2012 (CST)--Watty 20:50, 28 January 2012 (CST)

Is there an error in the married taxpayers table or I am looking at it wrong?

In the second row the column for the "Taxable SS" number has 3,267 but with (18,653 - 12,000) * 0.5 I get 3326.5. This may have also thrown the first column off too if it isn't right.

I was trying to make a spreadsheet of this with my numbers and found the difference when I put the example from the wiki into it so it could be a problem with my spreadsheet.

Number corrected; thanks. Grabiner 11:10, 29 January 2012 (CST)

"I have been trying to find Publication 915 'Worksheet 1' to copy without having to print the whole publication?"

Any thoughts?

Just print Page 16 of the document (2013 Publication 915 - p915.pdf), which can easily be done with Adobe Reader. --LadyGeek 20:02, 19 February 2014 (CST)

I'm wondering if the 9,617 Taxable SS in the Married Taxpayers table should be 12,148 instead.

9,617 = 6,000 + 50% * (31,233 + 40,000 / 2 - 44,000) 12,148 = 6,000 + 85% * (31,233 + 40,000 / 2 - 44,000)

Subsequent columns would also need to change accordingly. Thanks! Very useful information!!

Any thoughts?

"worksheet to figure your taxable social security"

I have added a description of where to find the worksheet. Duplication of an IRS form (worksheets) is out of scope for this article. LadyGeek 14:56, 14 March 2014 (CDT)
