Do You Need To Report Your Spouse's Income If You're Married?
If you are married and receive social security benefits aren't you suppose to report your spouse income
Hi,
I'm sorry, but you haven't furnished enough information to allow me to properly answer your question. If you are referring to the earnings countable for Social Security earnings test purposes and you receive benefits on your own record, then only your own earned income is considered(https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/whileworking2.html).
If you're referring to taxable income, then it depends on whether or not you file a joint return. For more information, refer to Social Security's website: https://www.ssa.gov/planners/taxes.html.
Best, Jerry
