ST. PAUL, Minn. (KDLM/KFGO) – Four incoming Minnesota DFL senators say, with the “historic” state budget surplus, they’re making the elimination of the state tax on Social Security benefits their top budget priority going into the legislative session.
Rob Kupec, newly elected senator for Minnesota’s District 4 which includes Detroit Lakes and Becker County said it was one of the issues he ran on.
“It’s really down to a handful of states that tax Social Security at the state level,” Kupec said. “[It] would give those seniors on a fixed income a nice break.”
The state tax on Social Security benefits impacts about 350,000 seniors in Minnesota.
