5. Understand Senior Tax Benefits and Credits
Even in retirement, taxes matter — but the good news is, seniors have plenty of ways to reduce them.
Depending on your situation, you may qualify for deductions related to medical expenses, charitable donations, mortgage interest, or even home energy improvements.
Some states also offer property tax relief or income tax breaks for older adults. Check your local rules — those savings add up fast.
If you’re unsure how your Social Security or withdrawals will affect your tax bill, a quick chat with a tax preparer who understands retirement income can save you hundreds (and headaches).
Tax season doesn’t have to feel scary when you know how to work it in your favor.
