The 2023 guide comes as part of an ongoing series of financial articles from Assets that are designed to guide senior citizens and those who may be approaching retirement through the process of retirement planning and offer practical advice for securing wealth in the later years of life.

A recent report from the Pension Research Council shows most Americans have a low level of understanding regarding the financial resources they will need in retirement, what they can expect in terms of Social Security benefits, and how this income will be taxed. The Assets guide explains the basics of Social Security taxable income so people can start to plan properly for what will be owed on a yearly basis. “It is important to understand if and how Social Security benefits are taxable,” explains a company spokesperson. “We aim to help individuals take a proactive approach to retirement planning through researching and acquiring knowledge.”

Recognizing that many people have a number of misconceptions about Social Security benefits, such as the idea that retirees are exempt from taxes, the guide explains how benefits remain taxable over a person’s lifetime. The amount of taxes paid depends on other sources of income, including wages, self-employment earnings, and investment returns.

Readers will learn about the different ways available to pay taxes on social security income, including choosing to withhold a federal income tax from Social Security payments so large amounts of income tax at the end of the year are avoided.

The Assets team also outlines ways to minimize Social Security tax liability, which include reducing business profits, limiting retirement withdrawals, and making use of the Social Security benefits tax tool provided by the IRS.

In addition, the guide covers common questions readers may have about taxation for spousal, disability, and survivor benefits, as well as supplemental security income (SSI), and how these categories relate to taxable income from Social Security payments.
