Can My Wife Make As Much As She Wants And Not Affect My Annual Earnings?

Can my wife make as much as she wants and not affect my annual earnings?



Hi,

I assume that you are referring to Social Security considerations. Your wife's earnings wouldn't affect your Social Security benefits unless you receive spousal benefits and she is under full retirement age. Your wife's earnings could also affect the amount of your benefits that would be subject to income taxes.

Best, Jerry
