For most filing statuses: If one half of your Social Security benefits (SSB) plus all of your other income for the year (including tax exempt interest) is more than $25,000, then your SSB is at least partially taxable.
For those with married filing joint filing status, the amount is $32,000.
For those with married filing separately who lived with their spouse during the year, any additional income makes the SSB taxable.
Once you exceed the above amount, 50% of your SSB is taxable. The maximum of your SSB that is taxable is 85%. See IRS pub 915 for more info.
