I’m 63 years old and collect Social Security benefits. How much can I earn in 2015 without any reduction in my benefits?

The earnings limit for those like you who have not yet reached the full retirement age is $1,310 per month, or $20 more per month than in 2014. If you exceed this limit, you’ll lose $1 of benefits for each $2 of benefits over the limit.

Deductions

Items directly reducing income. Personal deductions such as for mortgage interest, state and local taxes, and charitable contributions are allowed only if deductions are itemized on Schedule A, but deductions such as for alimony, capital losses, moving expenses to a new job location, business losses, student loan interest, and IRA and Keogh deductions are deducted from gross income even if itemized deductions are not claimed.
