if you file jointly the amount of her SS that will be taxable will be driven by your combined income, not just hers....the portion of SS that's taxable is based upon your adjusted gross income (modified of course ;-) )....there are worksheets in the 1040 instructions to help you determine this.... www.irs.gov & search for 1040 & you'll see a hit for instructions and find the section on calculating taxable SS.....good luck
