OPINION — After working and paying taxes for many years, seniors deserve a break on taxation of their retirement financial resources. Many live on fixed incomes that are affected by rising costs. Tax relief can provide the extra cushion to make the “golden years” a little more stress-free.
Since some financial resources supporting seniors have already been taxed, such as Social Security, it is not appropriate to tax senior income a second time. The federal government doesn’t need to treat the senior population like a piggy bank.
I wish to commend our Congressional District 8 Rep. Abe Hamadeh for his work to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill that reduced the tax on Social Security and increased the federal tax senior deduction.
