Do proceeds from stock sales count toward the Social Security earnings limit?


 

No. Income that comes from something other than work, such as pensions, annuities, investment income, interest, IRA and 401(k) distributions, and capital gains is not counted toward the earnings limit and will not affect your benefit.
