Social Security Benefits and Taxes

Hello, I included my Social Security benefits in my original tax return. The program told me that I didn't owe taxes on them; however, the IRS has directed me to their tax brackets and communicated that I'd owe anything above the tax bracket. The amount received is $13, 620. The bracket says I owe 12% on income that exists between $11, 926 to $48,475. I'm wondering if I owe money or if I don't. And, if I do, what do I need to do to move forward? Thank you.

    An IRS letter adjusting your tax return and calculating what you owe is generally correct.
