Yes, I did. I just figured it both ways. Joint is better because separate won't give the $12,000 senior deduction for both of them (over 65). Their total income is $123, 460 with social security totaling $70,800.
IRA's and pensions total $67,443. 85% of the social security equals $60,180 but their taxable social security is $56,017. I looked at the social security worksheet and it has the correct figures, but usually with income that high, it figures 85%. That is what I am concerned about.
Thank you for your time.
