The Financial Rewards of Aging
Print
| Age 55 |
No federal tax penalty on withdrawals from company retirement plans upon separation from service. |
| Age 59 1/2 |
No federal tax penalty on withdrawals from IRAs and retirement plans/accounts. |
| Age 62 |
Earliest age that Social Security retirement benefits can be collected for most people. Widows and widowers can receive these benefits as early as age 60. |
| Age 65-67 |
Full Social Security benefits. The exact age depends on the year in which you were born. |
| Age 70 |
Earned income no longer reduces Social Security benefits. Otherwise, if you are under the age of full Social Security benefits (see above), $1 is cut from your benefits for every $2 earned above the annual limit. Or, if you are over that age (but under 70), then $1 is cut from every $3 earned above the annual limit. |
| Age 70 1/2 |
Minimum distributions must be withdrawn from most retirement accounts. However, you may be able to continue making contributions with earned income, tax-deferred, to a Roth IRA. |
