WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Illinois Democrats Offer Relief From Deduction Cap, But Not Repeal Lawmakers
who won GOP-held seats want to increase $10,000 cap on state and local tax
deduction – Richard Rubin (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap
to $20,000 for married filing jointly.)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/illinois-democrats-offer-relief-from-deduction-cap-but-not-repeal-11553805167
(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Republicans imposed the $10,000 cap as part of the 2017 tax law, which also cut
tax rates, doubled the child tax credit and sharply narrowed the alternative
minimum tax. Most taxpayers, even in high-tax states, received tax cuts, but
the cap still proved unpopular with suburban voters. That provision contributed
to GOP election losses in high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey,
California and Illinois, where Mr. Casten defeated Rep. Peter Roskam, a chief
author of the tax law.)
