A major win for homeowners in high-tax states

The cap on deducting state and local taxes (SALT) rises sharply from $10,000 to $40,000 ($20,000 if married filing separately).

This includes:

  • Local taxes
  • Property taxes

Pros

  • Significant relief for homeowners
  • Makes itemizing worthwhile again for many
  • Especially helpful in high-tax states

Cons

  • Limited for very high-income earners
  • No benefit if you take the standard deduction
