In a bold new announcement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently outlined a series of sweeping tax reform proposals put forward by the Trump administration. During a press briefing, Leavitt detailed plans that would see the removal of taxes on several key income sources, including Social Security benefits, senior income, overtime pay, and more. These initiatives are being hailed by supporters as potentially the largest tax cuts in history for middle-class Americans.

Speaking directly to reporters, Leavitt emphasized the administration’s commitment to reducing the tax burden on everyday citizens. “These are the tax priorities the President has laid out for today’s meeting,” she stated. “We are eliminating taxes on tips, Social Security, and overtime pay, and renewing the middle-class tax cuts first established in 2017.” According to Leavitt, the focus is on removing unnecessary tax obligations that have long weighed down American workers and seniors.

One of the central pillars of the proposal is the elimination of taxes on Social Security benefits. Under current law, many senior citizens are required to pay income taxes on a portion of their Social Security income—a measure that critics argue unfairly penalizes those on fixed incomes. The Trump administration’s plan would remove this tax, offering immediate relief to millions of retirees. Leavitt added, “No tax on seniors and Social Security is a promise that resonates with our senior citizens, who have worked hard all their lives and deserve a tax break.”
