For the 2023 tax year, a retired couple filing jointly can earn up to $27,700 in combined income before needing to pay federal income taxes, thanks to the standard deduction for married couples. This threshold includes income from Social Security, pensions, and other sources. However, if their combined income exceeds this amount, they may owe taxes depending on the specifics of their income sources and other deductions or credits they may qualify for. It's advisable for couples to consult a tax professional for personalized guidance.
