What's surprisingly missing in this extensive proposal is Trump's pledge to remove the tax on Social Security benefits. In its stead is a measure that would add $4,000 to the standard deduction for seniors aged 65 and older, or $8,000 for couples filing jointly. However, this additional deduction is only available to individuals and couples with respective modified adjusted gross incomes up to $75,000 and $150,000. President Donald Trump's One, Big, Beautiful Bill Breaks a Key Social Security Promise fool.com It will bring some SS recipients out of the tax brackets with this raised deduction. Trump is pretty smart and informed, so that's probably his dodge on his claim about Social Security taxes. But maybe he doesn't know.
