Your Social Security is not all taxable. The taxable amount is based on how much other income you have.

Run your numbers through this IRS Interactive Tax Assistant to determine how much of your Social Security is taxable. https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/are-my-social-security-or-railroad-retirement-tier-i-benefits-taxable
