01 · The brief
Plain-English summaryWhat this bill actually does

This bill repeals the limitation in Internal Revenue Code section 164(b)(6) that capped federal deductions for certain State and local taxes (the $10,000 SALT cap). The repeal would restore full deductibility of qualifying state and local taxes for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.

Why people may split

Watch point

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward substantive amendment to the Internal Revenue Code that clearly and precisely removes the SALT deduction limitation by striking paragraph (6) of section 164(b) with a defined effective date.
