For tax years 2025–2028, most seniors (65+) pay no federal tax on Social Security due to a new $6,000/$12,000 deduction, provided income is below $75,000 single/$150,000 joint. While not fully eliminated for all, this deduction significantly reduces tax liability, aiming to exempt 88% of seniors.
Review FORM 8582 to see the calculations TT did for you. The $6,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to your 1040SR line 13b.
The vast majority will have no tax on their social security, which once again is not a benefit to the richest.
If you are not getting the senior deduction it is because Your date of birth in MY INFO shows that you were not 65 by the end of 2025,Your income is too high, or You are filing married filing separately.
