Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the inclusion in gross income of Social Security benefits.
AI Summary
This bill, the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act, proposes to repeal the inclusion of Social Security benefits in an individual's gross income for federal income tax purposes. Currently, a portion of Social Security benefits are counted as taxable income under Section 86 of the Internal Revenue Code. This bill would eliminate that provision, ensuring that Social Security benefits are no longer subject to federal income tax. To prevent the loss of revenue to the Social Security and Railroad Retirement trust funds, the bill appropriates funds from the Treasury to make up for the reduction in transfers to those funds caused by the elimination of the Social Security benefits tax.
