Tens of millions of seniors rely on Social Security to make ends meet. About 88% of retirees said Social Security is a significant source of income in retirement, with a rising portion of those saying it was a major source, according to an annual Gallup poll. Unfortunately, the future of Social Security is becoming increasingly uncertain. The most recent Social Security Trustee's Report estimates the fund's cash reserves will run out by 2034, a year earlier than previously expected.

By itself, Social Security can already be complex, and there are some details that retirees can somewhat gloss over. However, one of those details should not be how taxes on Social Security works.
