Past due taxes and survivors social security benefits?
Troy W asked:
My father passed and had not filed taxes on his painting business for two years. My mother is unable to work and is filing for survivors benifits with the social security office. Will social security deny my mother benefits because of past due taxes. My mother is on the business as a 49% share holder and my father was the other. He did all the work and she stayed home because of a previous injury. She will be closing the business.

qq5121971 asked:
How would the ss payments be affected? Is there anything I can do to maximize my benefits? Can I contact social security adminstrtion and tell them I will not work until 62? Would it help? How many years in the past do they look back to calculate retirement benefits? I am not talking about early retirement at age of 62. I am in USA.

NewIntheCity asked:
I have worked in USA long enough to earn Social Security retirement benefits. But I plan to move back to Asia to retire. Would I still receive Social Security Benefits when I am at 67 from US government even I am in another country?
How about if I am not a US citizen and decide to leave the country?

Can I claim my parents without affecting their social security benefits?
Malee V asked:
My fiance and I live with his parents. They own a duplex- we each live in our own separate compartment. We pay all the household expenses, such as the mortgage, water, property and other necessities such as food and utility bills. We each have and pay our own utility bill. That would be the only “housing” expense besides insurance that they pay. We have two children. According to the IRS, one of us can claim Head of Household and we can claim his parents as our dependents. However, they were unable to tell me if claiming them will affect their social security benefits. Will it?

Are the long-term benefits of Social Security worth it?
KP11 asked:
I have been studying Social Security and picking about the different ideas of it. I have become a little annoyed with it.
I have been studying Social Security and picking about the different ideas of it. I have become a little annoyed with it.
It seems that the amount of taxes that one pays out of their income to fund Social Security benefits is not returned in the future. In other words, it seems that we forgoe more money through taxes then we will get returned in benefits from the program.
Do you agree or disagree?
