Do I Pay Social Security Tax on My Social Security Benefits?

Do I pay social security tax on my social security benefits once I start receiving them

Hi,

You wouldn't pay Social Security taxes on the benefits you receive, but you may be required to pay income taxes on part of that income. For more information, refer to the following Social Security website: https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/retirement/planner/taxes.html.

Best, Jerry
