[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the 10k limit on SALT is that per individual or for joint as well?  It doesn't seem fair that an individual can deduct up to 10k of SALT but two married people can only jointly deduct up to 10k.  How is that fair???[/quote]

They could allow the second person to deduct income tax up to the amount their spouse deducts. It would be unfair to give someone a[b] greater deduction for property taxes just because they are married.[/b] [/quote]

So a couple who owns a house together but DOESN'T get married gets a greater deduction for property and income taxes because they can split them and each deduct up to 10k, for a total SALT of 20k plus, of course, their mortgage interest.  It creates a disincentive to marry.  Couples who both work are better off not getting married.[/quote]

The state should get out of the marriage business and everyone should file separately. Maybe something like this will be the first step. [/quote]
