๐ฐ Whatโs Happening with the SALT Deduction in 2025?
If you itemize your taxes and live in a high-tax state, this is big:
The current $10,000 cap on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction is set to expire at the end of 2025.
๐น Before 2018: SALT deductions were unlimited
๐น 2018โ2025: TCJA capped SALT deductions at $10,000
๐น Starting 2026: Unless Congress acts, the unlimited deduction returns
What could change?
๐ Some lawmakers want to repeal the cap entirely
๐ Others may push to increase the cap or make it permanent
Expect this to be a major debate during 2025 tax reform discussions โ especially for taxpayers in states like California, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois, where real estate taxes are high.
