What is the minimum dollar amount that can be taken off a 3500.00 pension check to not have to owe federal taxes at year end?

To determine the minimum dollar amount that can be taken off a $3,500 pension check to avoid owing federal taxes, one must consider the standard deduction and personal exemptions for the tax year in question. For 2023, the standard deduction for a single filer is $13,850. If your total income, including the pension, remains below this threshold, you would not owe federal taxes. Therefore, if you can adjust your pension income to be under this amount after deductions, you would not owe federal taxes.
