President Trump vowed to end taxes on Social Security, but the One Big Beautiful Bill stops short of fulfilling that promise.

The 'Big Beautiful Bill' signed by President Trump promised to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits. However, the reality is more nuanced, offering significant tax relief but not a complete elimination.

NORTH CAROLINA, USA — President Donald Trump’s recently signed “Big Beautiful Bill” includes significant tax changes aimed at benefiting seniors, particularly those receiving Social Security. A recent inquiry from viewer Bob L. questioned the authenticity of an email from the Social Security Administration referencing tax relief under the new law.

As a candidate, Trump promised to lift taxes on overtime. The new law allows workers to deduct up to $12,500 in overtime compensation (for single filers) or $25,000 (for joint filers). This deduction phases out for income levels between $150,000 and $275,000 (for single filers) and $300,000 and $550,000 (for joint filers).

Now that President Donald Trump has signed the “big beautiful” bill into law, experts weigh in on the tax relief some seniors may expect to see.

During his campaign, Trump promised to eliminate federal taxes on Social Security benefits. While that measure was cut from the final bill, the majority of seniors are still set to receive a tax break.

Trump promised to eliminate the tax on Social Security benefits in his 2024 campaign, but the bill instead adds a new deduction.
