AN ACT ELIMINATING THE QUALIFYING INCOME THRESHOLDS FOR THE PERSONAL INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS.

HB 6463 eliminates income limits that previously prevented some Social Security benefit recipients from claiming a state income tax deduction for those benefits. It directly affects individuals receiving Social Security payments whose income exceeded the former thresholds, allowing them to deduct the full amount of their benefits. The bill modifies section 12-701 of the general statutes to remove these qualifying income thresholds. This change would expand the eligibility for the deduction, making it available to all Social Security recipients regardless of their income level.
