Social Security does not automatically withhold federal income tax from benefit checks. But they will if you ask them to.
If you would like to have federal income tax withheld from either a pension or disability check, simply contact your local Social Security office and file a W-4 form.
You may choose the rate you want to be deducted: 7%, 10%, 12% or 22%.
You can also increase or reduce the tax withholding at any time by filing an amended W-4. You can even choose to discontinue the withholding.
Social Security benefits are generally taxable for individuals with total annual income of at least $25,000 and for couples who have annual income of at least $32,000.*
