AFPI: Trump’s $6,000 Senior Deduction Delivers Real Tax Relief 

Washington, DC – Years of Biden-era inflation and higher costs have placed a serious burden on senior citizens living on fixed incomes. Now, President Trump has delivered much-needed relief by implementing a $6,000 individual tax deduction for seniors as part of his plan to make filing easier, increase returns, and help Americans keep more of their hard-earned money.

“Putting America First means making sure our seniors keep more of what they’ve earned and saved, especially those living on fixed budgets.” said Jill Homan, AFPI Deputy Director of Trade & Economy Policy, “By expanding deductions and simplifying the tax code, President Trump’s plan delivers relief to older Americans without raising taxes on working families. This pro-growth approach rewards a lifetime of work, prioritizes American savings, and encourages long-term economic benefit.”
