You can contribute to an IRA if you are not yet 70 1/2 and have some source of W-2 / 1099 self employment income. Social security payments are NOT considered income that can be used to contribute to an IRA.
Social security benefits is not qualifying earned income that you can use to contribute to a IRA account.

Yes, you can contribute to an IRA account even if you receive Social Security Disability and do not earn enough to pay taxes. As long as you have earned income from sources other than Social Security or other non-taxable benefits, you are eligible to contribute to an IRA. However, it is always recommended to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional for personalized advice based on your specific situation.
The initial requirement is that a person gains taxable income to initiate an IRA. Exceptions include workerman's comp, social security, or disability. However, there is a cap of $3000.00 a consumer can contribute a year.
To have an Ira withdrawal you should most definitely contact who ever it is that you get your social security card from and have them do it. They helped when I wanted to do it.

IRA withdrawals are subject to neither Medicare nor Social Security tax.
Yes.as long as you do not contribute more than your annual limit.
A Roth IRA is supposed to be free of "all taxes", so I would guess that it is also free of social security tax, or else it would have a 15.3% tax on it. That would hardly be "free", but this is actually a good question. A regular IRA IS taxed upon withdrawal, but I don't know if it qualifies as "earned income" which is the only income that has to pay a social security tax.
You can contribute to both a 401K and an IRA at the same time (same year).
no - after age 70 1/2
You can contribute to a Roth IRA after age 70.5 as long as you have earned income, but you cannot contribute to a traditional IRA after that age. For a 401(k) plan, it depends on the rules of the specific plan, but typically you can continue to contribute to it past age 70.5 as long as you are still working and the plan allows for it.
IRA and and any other income that had been earned in that year will be sent to the government. You will have to claim any income in your income tax.
