Lower taxes on restored Social Security
If enacted, this bill would exclude part of your monthly Social Security Title II payment from federal gross income. The exclusion would apply only to the portion attributable to the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023 and only for payments for months beginning after December 31, 2024 and ending before January 1, 2026 (effectively payments in 2025). You would not count that restored portion as taxable income for federal income tax purposes; all other Social Security payments would remain governed by current tax rules.
