In a recent legislative move, President Donald Trump's administration has introduced a tax bill that offers a temporary deduction for seniors, falling short of his promise to abolish taxes on Social Security benefits.

This deduction would likely benefit people who earn modest incomes. The lowest-earning seniors already pay no federal income taxes, so they wouldn’t benefit. The highest earners make too much to qualify.

What happened to no tax on social security benefits? This tax plan was pushed through in a different legislative process. Trump has long promised it.
