I'm about to renew my SCRIE benefits. It looks like I'll be coming in just below $50K, but in the future my income may exceed 50K.I have no wages so I have no deductions, even though I pay taxes (quite a lot) every year). In the past it hasn't mattered that I have no deductions but it may in the future.
Here's my question: the SCRIE instructions say taxes withheld are deducted from income in determining eligibility. But what about taxes paid with the return? Or quarterly? The instructions don't address this issue. Does anyone know the answer to this from personal experience? I'm calling SCRIE tomorrow but I have found in the past that they can't address what isn't in the instructions.
