I'm 73 yo and am pleased that this tax provision for the so called "no tax" on SS benefits passed and will help so many retired folks. The feds should have never taxed SS benefits. But, as always in these cases of tax reduction changes, they benefit some and the rest of us in higher tax brackets can forget any benefit to begin with! I worked my behind off, had a great income, saved and invested wisely and am blessed to be living comfortably. However, I will continue to be taxed on my SS benefits since I am in a much higher bracket and will continue to pay beaucoup taxes every year...as always.
