The Standard Deduction

Adding a Pinch of SALT to the Holiday Season

Episode Summary

Don’t worry, they’re not doing a cooking podcast. In this episode, Tax Directors Candace Varner and Ben Hake discuss a different kind of SALT – State and Local Tax. The SALT deduction was capped at $10,000 in 2018, and many high-tax states have since introduced their own workarounds. Recently, the Build Back Better Act proposed a significant increase to the deduction, but taxpayers who can’t take advantage of it this year may be left feeling salty. Wishing happy holidays (including Festivus) to all our listeners!
