Future SS Benefits

It would be nice to have the option to click on a box in the income section asking if the future income is subject to Social Security.

Currently, you need to go to the Social Security tab and click on "future covered earnings" and click on copy to capture the FICA taxes and make sure future earnings are added to your future benefits calculation.

Many times I run a plan for a client at different income levels so I need to re-input the income and then reset the "future covered earnings" section, a step that seems could be avoided. I also would think that this is a step that many overlook.

Good idea and, overall, I agree so I've added it to the list of enhancements to consider for implementation.

No promises, but at least the idea won't get misplaced.

Best,

WE'LL CONSIDER THIS CAREFULLY. IT'S JUST THAT WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE MISTAKENLY TELLING THE PROGRAM THEY HAVE COVERED EARNINGS WHEN THEY DON'T. WE ALWAYS TRY TO SET IT UP SUCH THAT IF USERS MAKE MISTAKES IN THEIR INPUTS, THE PROGRAM WILL RECOMMEND MORE SAVING, NOT LESS. BEST, LARRY
