Ending Taxes on Social Security Payments

Social Security payments used to be tax free, until 1984 when up to 50% of Social Security payments were taxable.  The maximum was increased to 85% in the 1991.

Despite campaign promises of ending taxes on Social Security, the recent legislation did not directly end taxes on Social Security payments.

Now Congress is introducing a bill, You Earned It, You Keep It, to eliminate taxes on Social Security payments.  Similar bills have failed in the past.

I hope this bill passes.
