I do my taxes using Turbotax and use the standard (least expensive option which costs me $38).
This year, I got a settlement check from a settlement administrator.
The settlement check was for 44 cents!
I never even bothered to cash the check!
I must...
Thank you for your comments.
No need to post any link. I came here to get clarification because I admittedly haven't quite understood what I've read.
I'm not going to worry about it anymore.
Hate to be a pest, but I have read that even though one pays tax on SS, an additional even part time job in which no SS tax is deducted and has its own pension can mean one may have a penalty calculated in to their SS check thus reducing it.
Am I just making too little on that part time job to...
Thanks for the response. How can I find out what that "income limit" is?
I do contribute 10% to Fed taxes with each SS check I receive. I'm married and we do a joint return. Our combined income is about 80,000 net and yes she receives SS too.

I retired in 2018 at age 66 (full retirement age) and have received SS ever since.
In 2021, I started working part time, about 15 hours a week, ($8000 per year) for a municipality that does not deduct SS tax from my paycheck but has its own pension...

We purchased a single family home governed by an association in 2008 and signed the CC&Rs at that time.

We were sent a copy of these new rules and...

I ask this because the presidential candidates are both suggesting an end to federal taxes on tips. How would this affect both the payroll deduction and the SS benefit upon retirement?
There is no "check application status" area on the SS site. They merely say to contact Medicare to do this. Medicare is of no use whatsoever and only say "contact SS."
What you MAY be referring to is a check on social security status. I don't know.
Thanks though. I appreciate any help I can get.

I have been on my wife's health plan with Kaiser and on medicare for the past 5 years. I did not sign up for medicare part B because I am on her plan.
She is retiring next month so I need to get...
What about union dues. Federal?? California?? Is this part of that 2018 tax law or can union dues be deducted in California and/or on the federal return?
Also, here too...if union dues ARE deductible, am I correct in assuming that we must itemize to do so? My wife keeps telling me she knows of...
While I appreciate the response, I specifically asked about a California return, not a federal return. I believe that both documents which you pointed me to are federal related and have nothing to do with the state.
I have done some research and the best I can tell is that she does qualify in...

We take the standard deduction on both state and federal tax returns.
If my wife's (a nurse) uniforms are otherwise deductible, can they still be deducted on a California return if we do the standard deduction or must we itemize?
Thank you
