Bill overview
This bill, the SALT Marriage Penalty Elimination Act, aims to reduce a tax disadvantage faced by married couples with lower incomes. It increases the amount of state and local taxes these couples can deduct from their federal income tax liability. Specifically, it raises the maximum deduction from $10,000 to $20,000 for married couples with an adjusted gross income under $500,000. This change is intended to eliminate what’s known as the ‘marriage penalty’ in the tax code.
