"No Tax on Social Security campaign promise"

Well Yes & No. I'm a Trumpster, but what he has done there is increase itemizing, standard deductions, etc. etc. But what they need to do is increase the number of how much you can earn, including your 50% of S.S. before you even have to file. Look in the 1040 booklet (Online is fine), under who has to file, Table "A", Pg 8. Those numbers do not include any Social Sec. They increase a few hundred each year. But UNDER table "A" they include 50% of S.S. For example a Married Couple filing jointly including their 50% of social sec. would have to file once they hit $32,000 (Or maybe go above $32,000, need to check the wording). They need to increase that $32,000, also for the others, ingle, etc. etc. That number has not been increased EVER. Yet the #s in table "A" are approaching that.

Increase those #s UNDER table "A" and a lot fewer people would even HAVE TO FILE, Fixed income, Seniors, etc. etc.
