Starting a new thread from the related subject of taking SS early.
Has anyone taken a look at the tax consequences of taking SS at 62 if you have a sizeable taxable income. For example a $50K pension and $20K of dividends and interest generated from portfolio. Assume that dividends are qualified and interest is taxed at regular income tax rates. Thanks.
