How To Improve Your Social Security Benefits During Tax Season

It is always a good idea to review your Social Security Income (SSI) information during tax season. Your main reason for reviewing your SSI benefits at tax time is that you will already be using the necessary documentation to do your taxes. The way that you can ensure that you are receiving the maximum SSI payment available to you is to go over your annual statement.

Your SSI annual statement includes your estimated monthly benefits, which are based on the average of your yearly earnings during the 35 years where you earned the most annually. For example, if you discover that any of the years used in determining your 35 highest earning years is inaccurate, correcting the issue could result in your estimated monthly SSI benefits payment increasing. Per the CNBC report, in 2016, there were 92,000 complaints filed concerning SSI annual statement errors.

    I didn't think there was a caring professional considerate attorney firm on the planet, but Troutman & Troutman proved me wrong. From the receptionist to the legal assistance to the attorney and more they were exceptional people.

    They did a fantastic job getting everything gathered up and getting the trial done as quickly as possible. Anytime I had a question they were patient and help me understand what was going on. Especially Christy and Charlie were great.

    Steve Troutman was able to get my short-term and long-term disability for me. Then Erin another lawyer for their firm got my Social security disability for me. Great people.

    Mr. Troutman walked me through the entire process. Heather was available each time I called, answered all my crazy questions, and helped me fill out forms along the way. I was never treated like I was wasting time.
