HR 904 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to repeal the inclusion in gross income of Social Security benefits.
Summary
This bill repeals the provision of the Internal Revenue Code that currently includes a portion of Social Security benefits in the taxable income of higher-income beneficiaries. Under current law, up to 85 percent of Social Security benefits can be subject to federal income tax depending on a recipient's income; this bill would eliminate that taxation. To offset the resulting reduction in revenue to the Social Security Trust Funds, the bill appropriates Treasury funds to compensate those trust funds and the Railroad Retirement Act funds for the lost transfer amounts.
