Lawmakers Near SALT Cap Deal That Could Offer Major Relief to Homeowners in High-Tax States
Briefly

Lawmakers are nearing a deal to increase the SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000, providing potential tax savings for homeowners in high-tax states like California, New Jersey, and New York. The SALT cap, introduced in 2017, limits the amount taxpayers can deduct from their federal income taxes for state and local taxes. As home values and property taxes rise, many homeowners are left unable to take full advantage of tax deductions, prompting this negotiation. This shift responds to political pressures and a desire for broader tax relief in a crucial legislation package.
Homeowners in high-tax states may soon see tax savings as lawmakers negotiate a deal to raise SALT deduction cap from $10,000 to $40,000.
The SALT cap issue has stirred political tensions, since rapid property appreciation has led to tax bills surpassing the current $10,000 deduction limit.
The proposed increase to the SALT cap represents a significant shift for homeowners in states like California and New Jersey, where tax burdens have soared.
A compromise appears to be forming as a group of GOP House members has insisted on more generous tax relief to support recent Republican tax legislation.
