Exclusive: The top taxpayer in the House of Representatives argues that President Donald Trump’s “big and beautiful bill” will also be “big” for U.S. taxpayers, including the elderly.
House Ways & Mane Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo. They spent months in the group in the closed negotiations on how to formulate Trump’s tax policies.
This includes an additional $4,000 deduction for Americans aged 65 or older. Seniors with incomes of less than $75,000 as single filers, older people with less than $150,000 as joint filers will be eligible for full deductions and then phase out.
“So that’s their guaranteed deduction, and anyone who earns $75,000 or less per year will be completely complete, so all low- and middle-income social security seniors will pay zero for social security for a long time,” Smith Smith News told Fox News, while also paying.

Republicans are taking advantage of the budget settlement process that lowers the Senate’s 60 vote threshold from 60 to 51 votes to raise a huge Trump priority in tax, immigration, energy, defense and Treasury bonds.
Since the House has been operated with a simple majority, the settlement allows the parties in power to pass comprehensive legislation, in this case, in this case, in this case, Democrats.
Trump directed Congressional Republicans to permanently expand his 2017 Tax Cuts and Employment Act (TCJA) and enforce new policies to eliminate taxes on tips, overtime pay and retirees’ social security.
However, the law that established the settlement process was the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which specifically prohibited the direct change of social security through this process.
Smith said Republicans added $4,000 in tax breaks to make them "completely complete."

Smith said that rather than seeing monthly tax breaks, it would bring people’s annual tax returns.
He believes that this is also more beneficial for low-income elderly people, which provides greater relief for those who have too low income to pay social security tax first.
"Under the rules of settlement, you can't get directly into Social Security. What we do is make sure they get … for veterans who are less than $75,000 a year, tax cuts," Smith said. "It's not that we don't want to do that, but that we can't do it under the rules of settlement, otherwise you won't be eligible for the 51-vote threshold in the U.S. Senate."
“But the tax cuts they will receive are a tax cut that will make up for the expenses they pay in Social Security.”
Although Smith left Trump's initial campaign stadium, the White House also endorsed Smith's plan.
"The big, beautiful bill not only provides permanent tax cuts and greater salary, but also offers historic tax breaks for older people," White House spokesman Anna Kelly said. "This is another promise to our predecessors who deserve much-needed tax breaks after four years of suffering."
The $4,000 tax deduction tax that will take effect in the tax year from 2025 to 2028 will be the higher standard deduction that people over 65 have already received.

This is not a tax credit, no matter the tax rate, tax liability can be directly reduced. Deductions reduce taxable income and depend on the interest rate of the taxpayer.
But for single seniors up to $75,000, married seniors earn less than $150,000 and qualify for $4,000 in deductions, it could provide some relief to millions of taxpayers nationwide.
Smith added in the interview: “It will be a wash of their Social Security Tax.
