AI Summary
This bill, the Withholding Tax Relief Act of 2011, aims to provide tax relief by repealing a provision from the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 that required federal, state, and local governments to withhold 3% of payments made to vendors for goods and services, meaning governments will no longer automatically deduct this percentage from payments to businesses. Additionally, it amends the Internal Revenue Code to include social security benefits that are not taxed (excluded from gross income) when calculating a person's modified adjusted gross income, which is a figure used to determine eligibility for tax credits related to health insurance coverage under qualified health plans.
