Fundamentally, the SALT limit is good policy. I say this as someone who would have a lower tax bill by about $20k under the old rules.

Agree wholeheartedly. We would save a similar amount as you, and while I'd take more money in my pocket, I don't understand why a millionaire in Maryland or New York should have a lower federal tax burden than a millionaire in Nevada.

Because you never even saw the money? You are paying taxes on money that never made it to your account? It’s awful.

Nope, democrats are taking the suburban vote for granted. I’m sure that will end well

We’re at $225K HHI and our state taxes alone are above the limit let alone our property tax. This isn’t sustainable.

Please tell me the cap will go away at some point….

Buy a home. The mortgage interest will cause you to itemize.

If you own a home and don’t have a mortgage, my sympathy is limited.

Op here. I own a home with a mortgage. But I managed to refinance at the low and have a mortgage at 2.25%.

It’s ridiculous the SALT cap is the same for single and married, whether you think it’s a good idea in general or not.

Agreed!

Really? We are around $200k HHI and get beyond the standard deductions after interest and donations are added.

It sounds like there is a bipartisan working group in the House on this right now and that if they do nothing the cap will expire in 2025. Fingers crossed.
