Retirees Can Save Thousands If They Understand These Tax Breaks
Briefly

For seniors age 65 or older, the IRS provides enhanced standard deduction options, such as $1,550 more than younger taxpayers and $1,950 for couples where only one is over 65.
Seniors can benefit from spousal IRA contributions even after retirement, as spouses still earning can contribute substantial amounts, benefiting both individual and combined retirement savings.
The income filing threshold for seniors is more favorable, allowing those under $14,600 for singles and $29,200 for married couples to avoid filing tax returns.
Property tax breaks for seniors vary significantly; however, many states offer seniors the potential to reduce their property or school tax burdens, easing financial pressures.
