US EditionTrump Claims Bill ‘Eliminates’ Taxes On Social Security — Here’s Why That’s False
- The Senate approved a tax bill on June 25, 2025, creating a $6,000 deduction for seniors on Social Security income.
- Lawmakers designed this deduction as a workaround to Senate rules, so it falls short of fully eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits.
- The policy reduces tax liabilities for many seniors but excludes people aged 62 to 64 and lower-income beneficiaries with minimal tax liability.
- The White House stated the bill delivers historic tax relief so that the average Social Security recipient will pay no tax on benefits, while experts warn it speeds up trust fund depletion to 2032.
- This measure provides meaningful relief mainly for upper-middle-class seniors but may deepen future Social Security funding challenges and leave many low-income seniors with little benefit.
