No Tax on Social Security

This legislation aims to change how the federal government treats retirement income by excluding Social Security and Tier I railroad retirement benefits from a taxpayer's gross income. Currently, depending on a person's total income, a portion of these benefits may be subject to federal income tax. If this bill becomes law, retirees would no longer pay federal taxes on these specific benefits, potentially increasing the take-home pay for millions of seniors and railroad workers.

To ensure that the Social Security, Medicare, and Railroad Retirement trust funds do not lose money due to the loss of tax revenue, the bill includes a provision to provide federal funds to cover the difference. This is intended to maintain the financial stability of these programs while providing tax relief to beneficiaries. Because this is standard legislation, it would require approval from both the House and Senate and the President's signature to take effect.
