TAX TIPS FOR ELECTRICIANS

Stuart A. Sinclair, CPA
(516) 935-2086

Many electricians don’t know the age at which they may collect full social security benefits.  Full retirement age has been 65 for many years.  However, beginning with people born in 1938 or later, that age will gradually increase until it reaches 67 for people born after 1959.  The following chart shows the steps at which age will increase.  (The website is http://ssa.gov/ for social security.)

Year of birth                                        Full retirement age

1937 or earlier                                       65

1938                                                     65 & 2 months

1939                                                     65 & 4 months

1940                                                     65 & 6 months

1941                                                     65 & 8 months

1942                                                     65 & 10 months

1943 – ’54                                            66

1955                                                     66 & 2 months

1956                                                     66 & 4 months

1957                                                     66 & 6 months

1958                                                     66 & 8 months

1959                                                     66 & 10 months

1960 & later                                          67
