New Senior Tax Deduction Could Lower 2025 Tax Burden for Eligible Filers
A provision in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' introduces a retroactive tax break for Americans aged 65+, permitting $6,000-$12,000 deductions from 2025 taxable income. Eligibility hinges on income thresholds: $175,000 for singles and $250,000 for married couples.
The deduction Stacks with existing standard deductions, offering seniors—often reliant on fixed incomes—additional relief. Treasury estimates suggest millions could benefit during April 2026 filings.
