Best Answer

Yes.

However, it is subject to a very complicated formula that takes into account what your total income is and takes into account certain non-taxable income such as municipal bond interest. And the whole amount of your Social Security payment is not taxable. A maximum of 85% of your payment is taxable. (Don't misunderstand this statement, the tax rate is NOT 85%.)

If you really want to know if your benefits will be taxable, fill out the Social Security Benefits Worksheet on page 27 of the Form 1040 instructions:
