A resident of Florida could deduct their SALT, charitable contributions, and everything else in itemization.
You are complaining because a resident of a high tax state has to pay higher state taxes? All the SALT deduction did was prevent the hungry Feds from taxing people upon taxes that they already paid. Now, they are taxed twice. How in the heck is that a Conservative position?
And now that the tax bill has destroyed many deductions, people are not itemizing (the estimate is only 5% will). That was exactly the intention of the blood suckers in Washington - take as much money from the people as they could in order to make up for the $4 trillion deficit of giving the corporations such a massive tax break.
Just the opposite. I wish every state & Local taxes were low. One of the reasons I moved to Florida was low taxes.
I moved out of Illinois due to crazy property taxes.
If someone insists on living in a liberal-blue state that is their problem.
So if my AGI is $180,000 and AOC living in NY has an AGI of $180,000, with my low taxes I get the standard deduction of $12,000. New Yorker AOC could deduct $30,000 state & local taxes until the new tax law was passed.
So my taxable income is 180-12= $168,000.
AOC’s taxable income is 180-30= $150,000.
What that simply means is for the identical income I pay more federal income tax than AOC. That is unjustified, unfair, and ridiculous. We should pay the same tax directly based on income.
As one who chooses to live in a republican state run conservatively, I am happy out the new tax law supported by PDJT.
