Determining Taxable Amount. If your base income exceeds the limit for your filing group, you'll have to pay taxes on some of your Social Security benefits. If you're a single filer and your base income is between $25,000 and $34,000, you'll have to pay tax on up to 50 percent of your Social Security benefits.
In order to determine when social security is taxable, you first  need to know your combined income. This is the adjusted gross  income plus non-taxable interest plus half oâ¦f your Social Security  benefit, and as long as long is it is under $25,000, then it is not  taxable.
