The Annual Earnings Test for 2011 hasn't been released yet, but budget projections indicate there may be no change from 2010. For the 2010 tax year, the answer depends on your age.
If you've reached full retirement age (65 for people born prior to 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954, gradually increasing to age 67 for people born after 1954), there is no limit to how much you can earn.
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.
If you don't reach full retirement age in 2010, you can earn $14,160 per year without incurring a penalty. For every $2.00 over the limit, $1.00 is withheld from benefits.
just call them they will tell you
If you were born in 1953, you can draw Social Security benefits at full retirement age, which is 66 years and 4 months. You can also start receiving reduced benefits as early as age 62, but they will be permanently reduced.
If you were born in 1946, full retirement age for Social Security benefits is 66 years and 4 months. This means you can start receiving your full Social Security retirement benefits without any reduction in payments. However, you may choose to begin receiving reduced benefits as early as age 62, or delay benefits until age 70 to increase the monthly payment amount.
It depends. Normal retirement age is at 65, but you can start to take money out of your retirement plan without penalty at age 59 1/2.
Since you were born before 1955, you have reached full retirement age and there is no cap on how much you can earn while still receiving benefits without a penalty.
Yes, but you have to be at least 59 1/2 to take it without penalty.
Not at all. Age 65 is just what the government considers normal retirement age. However, you can start to take money out of your retirement account without penalty at age 59 1/2.
The earnings limit for 2010 for people below full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954) is $14,160.If you retire at age 64, you can earn any amount before retirement without incurring a penalty; however, once you retire, you can only earn $1,180 per month. If you earn more than the income limit, SSA will deduct $1.00 for every extra $2.00 earned.Your benefit check will be withheld beginning in January of the following year until the overage is completely offset. This can result in no Social Security income for a number of months, depending on how far you went over the limit.

However, you can start taking withdrawals from a qualified retirement account at any time without penalties...under many circumstances....and as long as the distribution are to be continued equally over your lifetime without stopping. (Not a one time withdrawal).
