I am a US citizen born in the Philippines. If I wanted to be a dual citizen, will I pay income tax in the Philippines from my pension in USA?

Hi. My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits, not tax laws. All I can tell you is that since you are a U.S. citizen you can still collect your U.S. Social Security benefits even if you move to the Philippines.

Best, Jerry

Hi Larry,
Both my wife and I are currently receiving Social Security benefits.
My wife retired at age 66 (born March, 1954) and is receiving her full PIA, $1032.
I was born in October 1952, so I have been receiving spousal benefits based on a restricted application.
When I reach the age of 70, I will start drawing benefits ($3870) on my own record.
Neither of us are having federal income taxes withheld from our benefits at this time.

Hi. When my husband retires our income will be his social security, and my child in care benefit. Approx $2800 a month total. Will we still need to file income taxes if this is are only income. Thank you so much

I just filed for my husband to receive his Social Security, he will be 62 next month. He has a nice pension with Florida Retirement, 32 years LEO. I am retired FERS, three prong retirement, retirement, FERS supplement, and TSP. FERS supplement will go away upon my turning 62 and I am "supposed" to begin collecting Social Security to replace it. Well my thoughts on taxes took me to the Internet today and I discovered that if a married couple earns/receives more than $44,000 annually their Social Security is taxed at 85%.

I am on SSDI and have master node and staking profit for the tax year of 2021 which I never cashed out of still sitting in my accounts. My tax advisor stated that since I made money in the staking and master nodes that 85 % of my ssdi may be taxed if the staking and master node I receicved is above a certain amount
I never heard of this before is she correct

Hi Larry,

Can you verify the accuracy of this article. The article states that once you achieve Full Retirement Age you no longer are required to pay any income tax on your social security earnings regardless of how much you earn or receive from pensions, IRAs, etc. To my knowledge this is not true, but has there been a change to the Social Security income taxation rules? I thought that you had to be aware that there is a potential that your Social Security could always be subject to the 50%/85% taxation even after reaching Full Retirement Age.

I am currently 69 years old and just started working. I receive full Social Security benefits through the widows benefits and I am receiving DIC from the veterans how much of my income is going to be taxable

Hello Larry, I’ll be 66 and 4 months August of 2022 and although I’m currently working and plan to work a couple more years I want to start receiving SS benefits then. I understand at FRA there’s no penalty on benefits however I understand there are taxes on the benefits if I make “too much money”. My benefits put me at 32400 not counting my regular paycheck.any information is greatly appreciated.

Hi. Are IRA distributions considered income for the determination of taxation of social security benefit? My only income is what I withdraw from my IRA.
Thanks for your help.
