Utah Gov. Spencer Cox wants to eliminate income tax on Social Security benefits.

Eliminating the state social security tax would save roughly 150,000 Utah households close to $1,000 per year.

The Legislature will decide this year whether or not to grant Cox ’s wish in the fiscal 2026 budget.

Some lawmakers are skeptical of the proposal.
