Wanted to share this as a resource since I started doing a deep dive on the financial implications during one’s retirement years of being a homemaker earlier today in light of a new law in Florida stopping the practice of lifetime alimony.

    So theoretically as long as my gross was below the cutoff (currently $160K in 2023) would that keep a running tally of my gross earnings over the years or are there other things such as 401k that would reduce that amount?

    I was wanting to calculate how much I grossed in my lifetime but of course don’t have a chunk of that data anymore.

      Short answer is yes. Your SS is taken out before any reductions like 401k apply. Look at your W2 for any year where you just had one job(or didn’t change jobs) to make it simple. Your gross earnings for your job are the same as your SS taxable/taxed earnings, and should match your SS statement online.
