“Deduction targeted by GOP used by tax filers in most states”
Note the effect of this Fake Headline by the Fake News:
“Deduction targeted by GOP used by tax filers in MOST states”
I suspect that there is at least one person in EVERY state who uses the SALT deduction (in Texas, we use it for sales tax and property tax). There’s nothing newsworthy in the above.
But what they are implying through their fake headline is the following:
“Deduction targeted by GOP used by MOST tax filers in MOST states”
This is not true, but it was the way that I first read it...in many states, even though SALT is available, most filers DO NOT use it, as they come out better through itemizing. In my case, I alternate years between itemizing and the SD, due to some flexibility that I have when paying taxes.
“This is not true, but it was the way that I first read it...in many states, even though SALT is available, most filers DO NOT use it, as they come out better through itemizing. “
The only way to deduct SALT us through itemization.
