I retired in 2021 and receive social security benefits. My wife receives W2 wages. I thought only my earnings would be included to determine taxable SS benefits,

[nicknish7]

Intuit is including my wife's wages when calculating what portion of my SS benefits are taxable .

[IRonMaN]

Intuit is correct

[dkh]

There is a Social Security Benefits Worksheet that will show you how the taxable portion is calculated.

I think you may be in the wrong place...this forum is for tax professionals using Intuit's professional tax software, it appears you may be looking for DIY help.

Please visit the TurboTax Help site for DIY support, they may be able to help you.

Actually this place is for anyone that has a keyboard and internet access.  It's just a matter of whether or not a tax professional wishes to answer the question.  Because of my great love of Intuit, I had to defend their honor and acknowledge that they are making a correct computation.

@dkh  - can you remind me how to get that sarcasm font to work? 😜

[dkh]

yes, @George4Tacks  says  SimSun is the official sarcasm font     You can select that font in the options above your Reply to Message box..... first capital A with a drop down

Because I was sure you were serious when you asked for help...😁

[IRonMaN]

Thanks, but now that I think it, I don't really need that font ----------------------- everything that I post here is sarcasm -------------- everybody should know that by now 😃

I answered Nick 5 hours ago, why are we still trying to shoo him away?

[joshuabarksatlcs]

@nicknish7 Congratulations on your retirement.  FYI, I said the same to nicknish 6.

[joshuabarksatlcs]

BTW, I came here because @IRonMaN and @Just-Lisa-Now-  are here...

[IRonMaN]

I was retired from this place but I came back once I heard Nick was here.

[joshuabarksatlcs]

6 or 7?

[IRonMaN]

1 through 7

well thanks a lot for not mentioning me.......     

[IRonMaN]

Actually, I'm here for the free pizza.  Does anybody know what time it is arriving?

[joshuabarksatlcs]

Does anybody know what time it is arriving?

@dkh knows.  (See?  I saved the best spot for you, dkh)

[IRonMaN]

Well, if she knows, that's why I am here.  So technically, I'm here because @dkh is here.

[dkh]

I feel better now...thanks 😏

[dkh]

Sorry, due to staffing shortages caused by covid, no one answered the phone to take the pizza order

I feel better now...thanks 

[joshuabarksatlcs]

Likewise, by the Principle of Mathematical Reduction, I came here also because @dkh was here... 

[IRonMaN]

I would come here more often if she would have been able to get a hold of the pizza people.  If we call support, can they fix the pizza shortage?
