Is Social Security Taxable?
Short answer: Up to 85% of Social Security can be taxable depending on your income; the new $6,000 senior deduction (2025-2028) helps offset it.
Withholding can be set with Form W-4V.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
