I’ve heard from many of you about the growing challenges of living on a fixed income as everyday costs continue to rise. This tax relief is a direct response to those concerns, putting more money back in the pockets of those who need it most. Below, you’ll find many ways the budget improves the lives of seniors, like no tax on Social Security, a higher standard deduction, and additional deductions that will save you money. Higher Standard Deduction: One of the most significant changes in 2025 is the higher standard deduction, which applies to all taxpayers who don’t itemize. For single filers, the standard deduction increases to $15,750. For married couples filing jointly, it rises to $31,500. You don’t need to do anything to claim it. Choose the standard deduction when you file your federal return, and the new amount will automatically apply. Special $6,000 Deduction for Seniors: Besides the standard and senior deductions, the new law provides a temporary $6,000 deduction specifically for Americans age 65 and older with incomes below $75,000, or $150,000 for a joint return. Seniors above that threshold will be eligible for a smaller, increased deduction. It’s estimated to benefit 33.9 million seniors, including seniors who are not claiming Social Security. This amounts to the largest tax break in American history for our nation’s seniors. Major Increase in the SALT Deduction: The State and Local Tax (SALT) cap increased from $10,000 to $40,000, allowing taxpayers who itemize their deductions to subtract certain state and local taxes, including property taxes, income taxes, and sales taxes, from their federal taxable income. Protecting Medicaid/MediCal: Seniors who are also enrolled in Medicaid (Medi-Cal here in California) will see no reduction in their benefits. More Access to Care: The new law provides a 2.5% increase to physician reimbursement fo… | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Kiley Helps Deliver Historic Tax Relief for Californians | 2025-07-03 | 2025 | 2025-07 | Independent | House | CA | Kevin Kiley | K000401 | kiley.house.gov | kiley | https://kiley.house.gov/press | scraper | WASHINGTON – Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) released the following statement on the House of Representatives passing H.R. 1 – One Big Beautiful Bill Act. “Californians will soon get something long overdue: major tax relief. That is the most immediate consequence of passing today’s legislation, which will benefit all Americans but especially Californians, because of an increase in the SALT deduction. Had the bill failed, Californians would have faced the largest tax increase in U.S. history, costing the average family thousands of dollars. I was committed to making sure that didn’t happen. “The bill also provides crucial support for education, national defense, and border security. And it protects our public lands and rural hospitals – both of which I advocated for throughout the legislative process,” said Rep. Kevin Kiley. | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |

Kevin Kiley Leads House Debate to Condemn Violent Anti-ICE Riots in Los Angeles | 2025-06-27 | 2025 | 2025-06 | Independent | House | CA | Kevin Kiley | K000401 | kiley.house.gov | kiley | https://kiley.house.gov/press | scraper | WASHINGTON – Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) led a House floor debate on Friday to condemn the violent, anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles this month. The House ultimately passed a resolution condemning the riots. Every Republican voted for it, yet only seven Democrats did as well. “This should not be a partisan issue,” Rep. Kiley said. “Attacks on officers and other acts of violence are reprehensible and should be universally condemned. That is not how we settle political differences in this country. I am grateful for all of our officers at the local, state, and federal level for restoring order to LA and for the sacrifices they make every day.” | 1 | 2026-04-04T05:28:40Z | 2026-04-04T05:30:10Z |
