The earned income for an 80-year-old before paying federal taxes would depend on their specific financial situation, such as employment status, sources of income, and deductions. Generally, earned income refers to wages, salaries, tips, and self-employment income. It is recommended to consult with a tax professional or refer to the IRS guidelines to determine the specific earned income and tax obligations for an individual in this age group.
My mother died at age 89 she had a income of around $60,0000. a little less pensions social security ect. she had been paying quartley around 5to 6,000.00 total. That seems to me too much right or wrong concerned daughter
My mom is 88 years old and is still paying outrages federal income taxes. I have always heard, that at age 70, you could earn as much as you want, without being taxed. She has a little farm, which pays her about 20,000 a year, and she has a very small pension, and a very small social security, since she is what they called a notch baby. Could you give me some information on how she should be taxed?
No. If she has a very low amount of income, she might not need to pay tax, but you don't get to stop just because you're a widow or because of age; whether you need to pay or not is entirely dependent on how much your income is.
No as a senior citizen I am exempted from paying Income tax. The above answer is NOT correct. Corrected answer below 07/09/2010 YES. Age is NOT one of the requirements of when a person MUST FILE A INCOME TAX RETURN. When you have the amount of taxable income for your filing status to meet the MUST FILE A INCOME TAX RETURN you can be any age as long as you are still breathing you will be required to file your 1040 income tax return correctly and pay the amount of income TAX that may be due on all of your gross taxable worldwide income.
I would say yes. You are taking a distribution of monies you never paid taxes on.
YES, YES, YES. There is no age limit that will stop anyone from filing and paying income taxes. I have seen several people who were told this or assumed this in error. If you have taxable income over the filing threshold then you are required to file a tax return no matter what your age is. I hope this has helped you even though it may not be the answer you had hoped for.
You cannot stop paying into the FICA fund as long as your are a US Citizen or resident alien and have any earned income form providing your services to earn the income.
If self-employment is your only income for the year, the filing threshold is $400 for the entire year. This figure is the total amount that you earned before your have deducted your business expenses. You will need to fill out Schedule C or C-EZ to document self-employment income and expenses.
You CAN NOT avoid reporting the interest that is received during the year from your savings account and adding the amount to all of your other gross worldwide income and paying federal income tax on the amount at your marginal tax rate after your 1040 federal income tax return is completed correctly. And to the essense of yoru question, I believe your confused about what is taxable income. EARNED income may be taxable (generally is) and UNEARNED income (in the vernacular) is ALSO taxable the same way...it is all taxable income. And certainly interest is taxable income (unless it is from a specifically none taxable type of investment, like a State/Municipal bond) , regardless of the source of the underlying deposit.
All persons residing in India are responsible for paying Income tax on monies earned. Dollars earned from agriculture are tax exempt. This is imposed by the Government of India.
0$. Section 61 of the IRS Code defines gross income as any accession to wealth. All money earned, in which a person is petter off than they were before, is considered taxable income.
Taxes became mandatory in America in 1913 with the federal income tax. The 16th Amendment of the US Constitution enacted the federal income tax.
You Gross income, is what you make, from all sources, before paying tax etc.
Yes... for the earned income credit and such. It makes no difference for your income taxes really, as your not paying any.
Yes Medicare will continue to be deducted regardless of age. As long as you have earned income, even after retirement, you continue to contribute to Social Security and Medicare with FICA taxes at the same rate as before you retired.
