House Bill 4880 would implement the tax cut over three years, starting with a 35% deduction for 2024, 65% for 2025 and 100% for 2026. 

Eliminating the state tax on Social Security is one of three tax cuts Gov. Jim Justice has proposed in his $5.26 billion fiscal year 2025 budget. Eliminating the tax would mean about $37 million loss in revenue and the three tax cuts together equal about $50 million.
