Congress income tax on Social Security benefits discussed
A council reports 83 percent of benefits would be taxed if treated as private pensions, since retirees contribute 17 percent of benefits. Taxing half the benefits would affect about 40 percent of recipients, with 10.6 million families paying an average 350 dollars annually, totaling 3.7 billion. 13.6 million would not be taxed due to low income. A panel majority favors raising the retirement age after 2000 and bringing federal workers into Social Security. Workers face an 8 percent Social Security tax increase in 1981.
