I'll not be able to survive, if they take-a
way,monies from my Soc.Sec.because
that's all I have to live on.What do they
expect, a man to do, if you receive less
than $1000.00 a month,with the cost of
living going up to almost 4%. I'm think
ing it's time too find a bunker and start
preparing,for the worst, just saying,
what's left? Anyone got a better idea?

Enter all your retirement saving amounts on Form 8880 (Credit for Qualified Retirement Savings Contributions) and complete the form to arrive at your exact credit rate and amount. Once you get the dollar amount, transfer it to line 50 of your 1040 or line 32 if you file the 1040A. The credit isn't available for 1040EZ filers, so you might want to consider changing your choice of returns if you've been putting away retirement cash.
