Latest action on H.R. 2621: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects workers who earn cash tips, workers who get required overtime pay, people receiving Social Security, and investment managers. Tipped and overtime workers could owe less federal income tax if they meet the income limits. Social Security recipients who now pay tax on benefits could see less taxable income. Investment managers could owe more tax on carried interest and related partnership income.
Why this matters: This bill could change take-home pay for workers and tax bills for retirees. Tipped and overtime workers may owe less federal income tax if they qualify. Some Social Security recipients may owe less tax because their benefits would no longer count as taxable income. Investment managers could owe more because the bill treats more carried interest like regular earnings. The bill may also shift more Social Security funding to general federal money.
