Outlets disagree on this: fool.com reports that the $6,000 senior deduction did not directly change Social Security tax rules and that the general obligation to pay taxes on Social Security still exists, while the existing cluster states the deduction has resulted in the majority of Social Security recipients not paying taxes — implying a more categorical exemption than fool.com describes.
