A part of your social security benefits may be taxable if half of the SS benefits plus your other income exceeds the base amount. The base amount is $25,000 for single, head of household, married filing separately who did not live with the spouse in the year, and it is $32,000 for married filing jointly. For married filing separately who lived with the spouse any time in the year, the base amount is $0.

Does the IRS care if I make over the 14,160 linit because I get over 20,000 in SS... or do I just pay back the excess to the SS which is about 8,000 because I made about 30,000 which is about 16,000 over my linit... do I have any concerns with the IRS? Or just pay on the part nessary of the 30,000

I believe that the Social Security Administration (SSA) will cut back on your 2011 monthly payments based on the information provided by your 2010 tax return.

A call to the SSA will confirm or deny this.
