Some Social Security benefits may be taxable Q: My income is from my retirement and Social Security. Last year, in order to have enough money to pay my real estate taxes, I took a part-time job and earned approximately $7,800.

Because I'm paying taxes on the $7,800 and also on the increased $6,400 Social Security amount, I feel that I'm being double taxed. detnews.com |
