President Donald Trump just dropped

a tax policy bombshell that has millions of American seniors celebrating.

In a new announcement shared directly on social media,

Trump confirmed that starting next year,

seniors aged 65 and older

will be eligible for a brand-new $6,000 tax deduction.

Even better: Married couples where

both spouses are over 65 will

now qualify for a total deduction of $12,000 under this change.

This move is part of Trump’s 2026

tax proposal aimed at helping retirees keep

more of what they earn and secure their financial future.

For many seniors living on fixed

incomes or Social Security, this is a massive relief —

especially with inflation and rising

costs eating into retirement savings.
