    Social Security benefits are subject to the provisional income test from a variety of income sources and preference items, including qualified retirement plans. Some capital gain income may very be taxed at capital gain rates, but the entire gain is used in the provisional income test to determine if your Social Security benefits are taxed.

    Social Security is often the primary source of retirement income. Maximizing the retirement benefit from social security requires planning. A mistake in selecting the time to start benefits can be significant. It is not always apparent when the best time to claim benefits would be. Consult with a trained retirement income specialist for the latest information.
