  • When should I file for benefits?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of filing at age 62 or deferring to age 70?
  • How can I make sure I am taking advantage of available spousal, survivor, or divorced benefits?
  • How much of my Social Security will be subject to income tax?
  • What potential changes are in store for Social Security and how might they affect my claiming decision?
