Is there a good reference for learning the nuances to filing and learning the strategies for filing for social security for a married couple? I’m retired and have continued working as a contractor (I’m currently a few months beyond my FRA) and my wife works full time (she just turned 61) and plans to continue working FT for another 2 - 3 years.
