Introduced in House (08/16/2022)
You Earned It, You Keep It Act
Most retired military don't realize their retired pay will be used to determine whether their social security is taxed at 50% or 85%. Even though your retired pay is taxed, your social security can be taxed again based on how much retired pay you have coming in and the rates are at 50-85%. This bill excludes Social Security benefits from gross income for purposes of federal income taxes, which if passed would eliminate this "ghost tax" no one mentions.
