Social Security can potentially be subject to tax regardless of your age. While you may have heard at some point that Social Security is no longer taxable after 70 or some other age, this isnt the case. In reality, Social Security is taxed at any age if your income exceeds a certain level.
So, if your income is less than the Standard Deduction, and you dont have other income to report, you wont need to file a tax return. An example of income that you would need to report, regardless of the amount, is self-employment income.
How to minimize social security taxes Delay claiming your Social Security benefits. We generally recommend to delay taking Social Security if you dont need the extra funds to pay for your living expenses. Consider a Roth conversion. Manage your investment income wisely. Maximize your charitable contributions.
