History

Historical Context

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, signed by President Trump, capped the SALT deduction at $10,000, significantly affecting taxpayers in high-tax states like California. This change reduced the deduction's cost from $104 billion in 2017 to $10.4 billion in 2019. Trump's recent proposal to raise the cap to $40,000 aims to alleviate financial burdens on middle-income families and reshape future tax policy.
