How To Navigate Trumps Social Security Tax Bill Impact

Thank you for joining us for the latest
Social Security news. Today we are
examining a new law that claims to
eliminate federal income taxes on Social
Security benefits for most seniors. This
could put more money in your pocket, but
there are important details you need to
know. Keep watching as we explain who
really benefits from this bill and what
it means for your retirement income.
Under the new law signed last Friday,
nearly 90% of Social Security
beneficiaries are expected to pay no
federal income tax on their benefits,
thanks to a temporary deduction of up to
$6,000 per person aged 65 and older, or
up to $12,000 for married couples filing
jointly if both spouses qualify. with
this deduction applying to those with
adjusted gross incomes below $75,000 for
individuals or $150,000
for couples and set to expire at the end
of 2028.
However, this deduction does not
actually eliminate the tax on social
security benefits, but reduces taxable
income for qualifying seniors, meaning
those under 65, higher earners above the
income limits, and lowincome seniors who
already pay no tax will not see any
change. Retirement and disability
beneficiaries who meet the age and
income requirements may benefit, but
supplemental security income recipients
who do not pay federal tax on their
benefits are unaffected by this
legislation. Policy experts warned that
the bill does not change the underlying
tax rules for Social Security and
primarily benefits middle and higher
income seniors while offering no
additional help to those with the lowest
incomes.
As the deduction is temporary and does
not address Social Security’s long-term
funding challenges, it is important for
seniors to understand both the immediate
tax relief and the potential impact on
the program’s future stability as they
plan their retirement finances.
Nearly 90% of Social Security
beneficiaries may see their federal
income tax on benefits eliminated
temporarily through a deduction of up to
$6,000 for those AED 65 and older, but
this relief expires after 2028 and does
not help everyone. Review your income
and age eligibility to see if you
qualify and consider consulting a tax
advisor to understand how this deduction
affects your retirement planning. For
