Who is a good person to talk to regarding SS rules and advice?
I’m with you- I am 62 this year and I am taking it as soon as I can get it- but I can work part time doing contract work.
I dont want to take SS but end up getting $0 because of the income I make from my contracting work.
You can earn up to $17,040 per year without any reduction in Social Security income. However, once your income exceeds that amount, Social Security will hold back $1 for every $2 earned.
The person to speak with is a tax accountant, preferably one who specializes in retirement.
Whatever you do steer well clear of investment advisers who will try to sell you something.
