Unlimited Social Security subtraction allowed.

The bill MN HF760 proposes to allow individuals to fully subtract their Social Security income from their taxable income in Minnesota. This means that people receiving Social Security benefits would not have to pay state income tax on that income. The goal is to provide financial relief to retirees and those relying on Social Security for their income.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will help seniors and low-income individuals keep more of their hard-earned money, allowing them to better manage their finances. They believe that eliminating taxes on Social Security will make Minnesota more attractive for retirees and help improve their quality of life.

Critics of the bill contend that it could lead to significant revenue losses for the state, potentially impacting funding for essential services like education and healthcare. They argue that tax breaks for Social Security income disproportionately benefit wealthier retirees, rather than addressing the needs of lower-income residents.
