I never knew that SS was taxable until I started doing my parents’ taxes.

It’s really bad, especially now when so many seniors are forced to get jobs just to make ends meet.

Up to 85% is taxable, on a graduated scale. It is taxable indexed to the person's income and tax bracket.

To me it is a tax on a tax. I thought that was illegal?

My buddy took his SS but continued to work. The tax on everything over $25,000 is a real shaft job.

Trump is 100% right.

Just don't hire those IRS agents to balance it. They cost more than we think...No one adds in their price for pensions.

It seems like double taxing.

Thank Bill Clinton for that.

“I never knew that SS was taxable until I started doing my parents’ taxes.”
Your parents can thank dickhead Bill Clinton for that gift.
