1. Thanks. But....

Where's the rest of the chart? Where did it originate? Do you have a link?

I'm still looking for its source. My apologies, I did not realize that it was possible that anything more the last line of the middle column might have been cut off in the image I uploaded from Facebook to postimages.org so that I could post it here.

2. Yep, it does absolutely nothing for me. I will still be taxed on 85% of my SS.

3. So the issue in point #2 is that higher income retirees won't get the deduction ?

Is that really a concern here?

I'm retired over 65 while my spouse who is younger is still working. Between this new $6,000 deduction and the continuation of the higher standard deduction, my taxes will be considerably lower.
