The 1976 tax bill would cut taxes for seniors with modest incomes and add a larger credit for those 65 plus who sell their home. It would simplify the elderly credit, retroactive to Jan 1, 1976, and set 15 percent of eligible income up to $2500 for singles or $3750 for couples as the credit. Credits would be reduced as Social Security and other income rise above set thresholds.
