Senior Tax Breaks, Social Security Timing, and IRMAA Appeals

Senior Tax Breaks, Social Security Timing, and IRMAA Appeals14 sept57 min

Roger and Annie tackle a topic they've never covered before: the tax issues that come with aging, for clients and preparers alike. They break down the new senior deduction, Social Security claiming strategies across the 62/67/70 timeline, IRMAA appeals, RMD rules, and when long-term care costs are actually deductible. They close with a cautionary tale about gifting appreciated property too early and the recordkeeping every family should have in place before it's needed.
