The federal government began taxing Social Security annuities in 1984, after Congress passed amendments to the Social Security Act in early 1983, and President Reagan signed the legislation into law in April of that year.
The 1984 rule allowed 50% of a person's annual Social Security income to be taxed, if that person's total taxable income reached a certain threshold.
Alan Greenspan, who later became Chairman of the Federal Reserve, recommended the change.
