I’ve been trying to get an answer to this question. I’m turning 62 years old and have decided to retire early. My income limit is 22,320. My wife still works and earns a little over 100k (she’s younger than me). When we go to file our tax returns, married filing jointly, will my wife’s income push me over my limit making my social security benefits taxable, or can I still work and earn less than my 22,320 and have my social security benefits remain non-taxed? Will my Social Security benefits be reduced by 1 dollar for every 2 dollars I earn given that I’m 62?
We live in Massachusetts. Thanks so much.
