Is there any age break for avoiding federal income taxes?
Seniors generally are subject to the same tax rules as other individuals when it comes to reporting income and claiming deductions and credits. However, those age 65 and older can claim an additional standard deduction amount, which reduces the tax bill for seniors.

Withholding
An amount taken from income as a prepayment of an individual’s tax liability for the year. In the case of wages, the employer withholds part of every wage payment. Backup withholding from dividend or interest income is required if you do not provide the payer with a correct taxpayer identification number. Withholding on pensions and IRAs is automatic unless you elect to waive withholding.
