Social security is not always taxed. Up.to 85% can be taxes but it's a formula based on other amounts of income. Please dont answer if you dont actualy know tax law lol. "Some people have to pay federal income taxes on their Social Security benefits. ... between $25,000 and $34,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits. more than $34,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits may be taxable."

How does he file (single, joint, HH)? How much is his provisional income (1/2 SS + AGI + muni income). You cannot figure taxation of SS based on the $50K gross. The client could receive their SS tax free depending on provisional income. That being said, the maximum tax would be 85% of their benefit being taxed at the clients respective ordinary income tax bracket.

You also need to know if the client is past their Full Retirement Age or FRA. If younger than FRA, they may get hit by the earnings test where they loose $1 of their benefit for every $2 of earned income above $17K +.

Social Security website has an explanation for 1st yr of retirement. If you make less than $1700 (approx) per month, you will not need to repay the SS benefit even if earnings are more than $17000 for the year. Year of full retirement age the amt is 48000 (approx), but still the $1700 per month after benefits begin applies.

Social security is always taxed, but more importantly is that his benefit may be reduced for the calendar year due to his income. I believe you can find the calculation on the govt website.

Sorry, I didn’t state that clearly. His benefits will be taxed regardless of his income based on the tax rules for SS. The fact that he has income outside of SS will likely reduce his benefit from SS. That is what I would look into.
