ELIMINATE FEDERAL TAXES ON SOCIAL SECURITY?
Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minnesota has introduced the “You Earned It, You Keep It Act” to repeal federal income taxes on Social Security benefits.
Currently Social Security recipients who earn more than $25,000 for an individual or $32,000 for a married couple, filing jointly, are taxed up to 85% of their benefits. Below that threshold benefits are not taxed.
According to AARP, about 56% of Social Security recipients are taxed on their benefits.
The cut would be paid for by raising the payroll tax cap to $250,000, something Attorney Crawforth has advocated for years. Currently, wages over $147,000 are exempt from Social Security payroll taxes.
