Tax tip of the week

What sources of income arc tax free to people age 65 or older? Are tax rates lower when people reach age 65? No income is tax free solely because you reach age 65. Whether or not income is taxable depends on the source of that income and, sometimes, on how much other income you have. Social Security benefits, for example, are nontaxable for many retirees. For others, up to 50 percent of these benefits are taxable, depending on the amount of other income reported on their income tax returns. The tax rates arc the same for everyone. Taxpayers age 65 or older do get an extra standard deduction, however, of SBSO, or $650 if married or a qualifying widow(er). Also, if you or your spouse is age 65 or older, the credit for the elderly may save you as much as $1,125,

Recently Bev Fales challenged her students in a home economics course. With two goals in mind: opportunity for students to experiment with foods creatively and problem solving practice for left-overs, Fales asked her students to prepare one main dish or dessert per group by using at least three items already "on hand," a maximum grocery budget of $3, and their imaginations. Following a taste test, they graded one another on how attractive the dish appeared, taste and seasoning, and creative use of ingredients. Student creations included such things as the J& J Parfait, a combination of chocolate chip cake, whipped cream, pudding and chocolate chips; cheezy spaghetti; and stir fry.
