Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.

The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.

“This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned."

The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned.

Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.

There is nothing in this email that is true. Pure lies coming from a government agency. Yes, the email and IP address are valid. Sad, sad state of affairs.

There isn't a tax cut, there isn't a fee waiver and this bill further jeopardizes the entire social security regime.

Yes, I was alarmed to get that as well. I searched and previous emails have been very neutral.

Nobody claimed there was a tax cut. The claim is "tax relief" and that is true.
I don't see how this bill "jeopardizes the entire social security regime."

This is not true. I receive emails from the SSA all the time - cost of living adjustments, changes to the website - all kinds of emails.
There is nothing in that email that isn't true.

Have you EVER seen any email like that from our federal government before? Do you think it is appropriate on any level?

I don't have a problem with it. The email simply informs the reader that most seniors will no longer pay taxes on their benefits.

It's a little strange in the wording. I'm a senior receiving SS, and I've only heard about the deduction part. This email makes it sound like that is in addition to another provision ensuring there is no taxation of SS. I thought it ended up being just the deduction --which is effective for 2025. I've been following this because it may require some changes in our tax planning for Roth conversions and estimated tax once we know exactly how it will work.

the reality

https://www.investopedia.com/eliminating-social-security-taxes-big-beautiful-bill-provides-senior-bonus-11743513

President Donald Trump has promised to eliminate taxes that beneficiaries pay on their Social Security checks.

The Big Beautiful Bill does not eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits, but it does give a temporary tax break to those 65 and older with a modified adjusted gross income of up to $75,000—what some are calling a "senior bonus."

Eliminating income taxes on Social Security benefits would drain the trust funds that back the program faster than already projected.
