From MarketWatch:
Retired? Here’s when you don’t have to file your taxes – and when you do: Some retirees are not required to file a tax return every year, but those unsure should check the income requirements. Others may want to file even if they don’t have to this year.
To save Social Security, all options should be considered – including increasing the full retirement age: Congress has yet to announce how it intends to improve or save Social Security, but one proposal is to bump up the Full Retirement Age for beneficiaries.
Technology has been a boon to some older adults, but a serious obstacle for others: Technological advancements can be a challenge for any individual, some more than others.
