Repealing Federal Income Tax on Social Security Benefits

This bill eliminates the federal income tax on Social Security benefits and Railroad Retirement benefits. This change means retirees and beneficiaries will keep more of their monthly payments, as these benefits will no longer be counted as taxable income. Crucially, the legislation ensures that Social Security Trust Funds are protected, with the Treasury covering any lost revenue resulting from the tax repeal.
Key points

This change increases the disposable income for millions of retirees and beneficiaries.
