It’s said that the only three things guaranteed in life are birth, death, and taxes. That’s even true for most of those receiving payments from the government for Social Security in Las Vegas. Here’s how it works:
The income limits for taxing Social Security in Las Vegas are relatively straightforward. Those who file their taxes singly, but make less than $25,000 per year pay no taxes at all. Those filing singly and earning between $25,001 and $34,000 will need to pay taxes on half of their benefits. If you’re filing jointly and earning less than $32,000, you won’t have to pay any taxes, either, but you’ll pay on half if you’re earning between $32,001 and $44,000.
After these limits, the percentage of taxes paid on Social Security in Las Vegas increases to 85%. The total tax rate you’ll pay is determined by your income bracket, but generally falls between 10% and 35%.
When lump-sum payments are awarded, your tax situation can quickly become complicated and confusing. For instance, your lump-sum payments could push you into a higher tax bracket, increasing the amount of taxes you’ll have to pay. This has a negative consequence, though, in that you’ll end up receiving a smaller portion of your allotted benefits after paying your taxes. The entire situation can be avoided, though, so long as some of your back pay can be claimed as income from a previous year.
If you’re working with an attorney, you may want to ask them whether or not you should speak to an accountant for tax filing purposes.
- Those receiving SSI (Supplemental Security Income) are rarely required to pay taxes. In order to receive these benefits, the recipient’s income must already be so low that it isn’t taxable.
- Only one-third of those receiving SSDI (Social Security Disability Income) are likely to earn enough additional income to have their benefits taxed.
