Hello,
I've bee reading about the Early Retirement SS Benefits Reduction due to Income earned.
I understand that they deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit of $22,320.
How exactly do they calculate earned income?
Do your social security benefits get counted as earned income?
How about Roth conversion dollars? Are they considered earned income?
If I am earning $18k per year due to taking an early retirement incentive,
And I am supposed to receive $30k from social security benefits,
Am I over the $22320 earned income limit?
If I make a $30k Tax Deferred retirement savings conversion to Roth IRA,
Am I over the limit now?
What types of revenue actually constitutes "earned income?"
Thanks
