Sponsored By: Representative Gooden, Lance [R-TX-5]
Introduced
Summary
Temporary exclusion of restored Social Security Title II benefits from federal taxable income.

People who receive those restored Title II payments during 2025 could exclude the restored portion from their federal taxable income. The change is time limited and narrowly applies only to that attributable portion of Title II benefits.

No tax on restored Social Security
If enacted, this bill would let you exclude from federal taxable Social Security income the part of your monthly Title II benefit that is attributable to the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023. The exclusion would apply only to amounts paid for months beginning after December 31, 2024 and before January 1, 2026. That excluded portion would not be counted as a "social security benefit" for federal gross income tax purposes during that period. If your monthly payment includes restored amounts from the 2023 Fairness Act, you would likely owe less federal income tax for those months.
