The Social Security tax rate is assessed on all types of income earned by an employee including salaries, wages, and bonuses. However, there is an income limit to which the tax rate is applied. For 2017, the Social Security tax is taken from income up to an annual limit of $127,200. Any amount earned above $127,200 is Social Security tax-free.
If Social Security was your only source of income in 2013, your benefits may not be taxable. You also may not need to file a federal income tax return. If you get income from other sources, then you may have to pay taxes on some of your benefits. Your income and filing status affect whether you must pay taxes on your Social Security. The best, and free, way to find out if your benefits are taxable is to use IRS Free File to prepare and e-file your tax return.
