Social security is already in danger. President Trump’s plan to get rid of income taxes on the benefit won’t save it. In fact, it’ll probably do the opposite.

You can also request that the IRS withhold money for taxes from your Social Security checks up front. This would save you the trouble of having to do the math to figure out how much you might owe. If it withholds too much from your checks, you'd get the extra back as a refund when you file your tax return.

Working while collecting Social Security can make good sense for some seniors. Those who want to work part-time but still enjoy the retirement lifestyle may decide that Social Security is a good way to supplement their paychecks.
