How much can you make on Social Security in 2010 if you are under the age of 65?
If you were born between 1943 and 1954, you will reach full retirement age at 66. In the year prior to your 66th birthday, the Annual Income Test remains at $14,160, with a benefit reduction of $1.00 for every $2.00 you earn over the limit. Your social security check will be withheld beginning in January of the next year until the entire overage is offset.If you retire this year, special rules apply to prevent retirees from being penalized for high income earned prior to their retirement date. Nothing you earn before filing for retirement will be counted toward the limit; however, you cannot earn more than $1,180 in each of the months following retirement the first year without incurring a penalty.In the year you reach full retirement age, you can earn $37,680 annually, but for every $3.00 over the limit, $1.00 is withheld from your benefits until the month your reach full retirement age.The income cap is lifted completely and permanently the month you reach full retirement age.Retirement and Earned Income SummaryRetirement yearNo penalty for income earned before retirementCan earn $1,180 per month for remainder of first year, if taking early retirementCan earn $37,680 per year until birth month if you reach full retirement age during your retirement yearNo income cap and no penalty if you have already reached full retirement ageAge 62Apply the first-year rule if retiring at 62Age 63Apply the first-year rule if retiring at 63;Otherwise, $14,160 per year earned income capAge 64Apply the first-year rule if retiring at 64;Otherwise, $14,160 per year earned income capAge 65If born before 1943, no income limitIf born between 1943 and 1954, apply first-year rule if retiring at 65Otherwise, $14,160 per year earned income capAge 66If born before 1943, no income limitIf born between 1943 and 1954, income cap of $37,680 until birth monthNo income limit after birth monthAge 67If born before 1955, no income limitAge 67 will gradually be phased in as full retirement age for people born in 1955 or laterAge 68 and olderNo income limit
Will your pension check reduce your Social Security benefits before full retirement age?
No. Only earned income is counted toward the $14,160 annual cap and still allow you to receive full benefits between the ages of 62 and the year in which you achieve the full retirement age of 66. The earning cap increases to $37,680 in January of the year you turn 66, and is lifted completely the month of your birthday. Afterward, there is no earned-income limit.Pension checks, 401k payouts, annuities, capital gains, and other investments are not counted toward the income limit at any time.
If you make 50000.00 a year how much would your Social Security payments be reduced at age 62?
This is impossible to answer with the information provided, because the earliest you can file for Social Security retirement is your sixty-second birthday. Bear in mind, when you retire at 62, your monthly benefit will be approximately 75% of the amount you would receive if you retired at full retirement age (probably 66).There are special earned-income rules for the first year of retirement, such that you are not penalized for any income earned before your date of retirement, regardless of the amount. After the date of retirement, you can earn only $1,180 per month (one-twelfth of $14,160 per year) before incurring a reduction in benefits of $1.00 for every $2.00 earned over the limit.From age 63 until the year you reach full retirement age (65 if born before 1943; 66 if born between 1943 and 1954), you can only work and earn $14,160 per year without penalty. Income earned above the limit temporarily reduces your benefit by $1.00 for every $2.00 over the limit.$50,000 - $14,160 = $35,840$35,840/2 = $17,920(qualified benefit) - $17,920 = (remaining benefit)Earnings of $50,000 would temporarily reduce your benefits by $17,920 per year, or $1,493.33 per month. If this amount exceeds your entitlement, your monthly payment would be zero.When you reach full retirement age, the earned-income cap is permanently lifted, and your benefit will not be reduced regardless of the amount you earn.
What was the social security income cap in 2008?
If income is earned in the year of full retirement age, the 2008 income threshold is $36,120. If income is earned prior to the year of full retirement age, the 2008 income threshold is $13,560. After those thresholds are reached, social security benefits are reduced. The excess earnings reduction is $1 of Social Security benefits for every $2 of earnings over the lower threshold for people who are not yet in the year they reach full retirement age. In the year a person reaches full retirement age, the excess earnings reduction is $1 of Social Security benefits for every $3 of earnings over the higher threshold. During the month of reaching full retirement age and thereafter, beneficiaries can earn an unlimited amount without a reduction in their Social Security benefits.

How much can you make in a year and still get social security?

How much income can you have and NOT have to repay ss for benefits - you are 67 born in 1945 and income is from 401K?
There is no income limit once you're over the Full Retirement Age. If you are 67, you're over that limit today - Full Retirement Age for folks born between 1943 and 1954 is 66. In addition, 401(k) distributions are not considered "earnings" for the purpose of the earnings limit for Social Security benefits. Earnings counted toward the earnings limit (for those under Full Retirement Age) includes wages and self-employment income.
