Fact check: Did the one big beautiful bill actually end federal taxes on social security

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided suggest that the "big beautiful bill" signed into law by Trump does not eliminate federal taxes on Social Security benefits ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Instead, it provides a new temporary senior deduction to help defray the effects of federal taxes on Social Security benefits ^[2]. A new bill, the 'You Earned It, You Keep It Act', has been proposed to permanently eliminate federal taxes on Social Security benefits ^{[1] [4] [5]}. The revenue lost from eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits would be replaced by applying the 12.4 percent Social Security payroll tax on earnings above $250,000 ^[4]. The "big beautiful bill" does not change Social Security taxation ^[1], and the introduction of the 'You Earned It, You Keep It Act' aims to address this issue ^[5].
