86 September 2011 Compass Clubs/Support Clubs Compass September 2011 87 Know how the tax rules change for Senior Taxpayers

The tax law has certain require- ments and tax breaks that apply just to senior taxpayers. Being familiar with these rules could cut your taxes or prevent tax penalties. These rules include: • A higher standard deduction at age 65 • A requirement to take out a certain portion of your retirement holdings every year once you reach age 70½, or face a 50% penalty • A requirement to make quarterly tax estimates once tax withholding from wages ends (at certain income levels) For details and other tax-cutting assistance, contact: Carolyn J.
