State Taxes on Social Security Benefits to Phase Out Faster
“All state income taxes on Social Security checks will now be eliminated by 2025, five years earlier than outlined in a measure passed last year.
Todd Stubbendieck, state director for AARP Nebraska, said dropping the tax is the right thing to do for nearly 350,000 Nebraska seniors facing rising prices at supermarkets and at the gas pump.
‘This program was never designed to be a revenue raiser for the states,” Stubbendieck explained. “This is hard-earned Social Security benefits, all of it should be in seniors’ pockets spending how they want it to be spent.'”
