I know this subject has probably come up before but I will ask again. I retired March 1st of this year. In January and February I made about $20,000. Will that count toward my total earning for the year or does it start the day I went on SS? I think it starts the day I did retire but I wanted to make sure? I have been offered a part time job for the rest of the year that would put me right at the total I can make for someone age 65 and not have to pay back any SS. Thanks
