If you are an elderly person and still have a job, then you may want to be careful about how much income you bring in during the year. A lot of elderly people depend on an income source from a job and social security benefits. If you are in this position, then you need to try to make sure your income is less than $25,000 in a given year. If your income is over $25,000, then up to 85% of your total social security benefits can legally be taxed in a year. The tax rate can end up eating away at your benefits.
