SALT Fairness for Working Families Act
The SALT Fairness for Working Families Act raises the federal income tax deduction limit for state and local taxes (SALT) from $10,000 to $15,000 for single filers and married individuals filing separately, and to $30,000 for married couples filing jointly. This change applies to tax returns filed for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024. The bill directly affects individual taxpayers in high-tax states who itemize deductions, allowing them to deduct more of their state and local property, income, or sales taxes.
