You know, already made over the yearly limit of $12,000 for age 62. We tried once for my husband and the counselor convienced us that he should wait till October and then he would get his first full check in January 2006. He is ready to retire now. He needs to retire now. Who the hey can make heads or tails out of what the read in these papers anyway? Do you by chance work for IRS? What do you know about the First Year Exception that she forgot to tell us about, or what they call a Grace Year. God knows it's Grace we need in this situation.<br><br>Marlene-PurelyPoetryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820084162514026334.post-74613329711307656222005-06-03T21:00:00.000-07:002005-06-03T21:00:00.000-07:00Marlene - No, I do not work for the government, LO...Marlene - No, I do not work for the government, LOL; I work for a small non-profit that 'deals with' all levels of the government on a daily basis. As for your questions, I do think you would do well to seek the advice of a qualified personal financial planner, or CPA, as I am neither qualified nor am I prepared to give out advice in this specialized area.

I'll learn when I need to!! HYUK! <br><br>Educational my butt. Stodgy is more like it.
