I'm 78, and the deduction is welcome. Less of my Social Security will be taxable this year. I have my pension and Social Security and fall well within the adjusted gross income of $75,000. That's all I get. I file single taxpayer. I own nothing. Have no savings.
“..the deduction is welcome. ....”
I’m totally sure it is.
But it’s totally a bald faced lie that SS is now not taxed.
