Under the One Big Beautiful Bill, seniors will see their Social Security income shielded from federal taxes-an adjustment projected to benefit 100,000 retirees in the state. The White House reports that 88% of Social Security recipients will pay no federal income tax on those benefits beginning with the 2026 tax year.
