Lipdrag Posted September 18 Posted September 18 2 hours ago, ionel said: Shouldn't this be over in the Smokers Meats thread or are we talking about Strategic Arms Limitation Talks? Not to go all nerd on this but I think it is State and Local Taxes. Reduction of the federal tax deduction (it should have been eliminated) for the state and local income, property, and other taxes. It came in under Trump's tax overhaul. The original proposal was to eliminate it. The compromise was to cap the deduction at $10k. The principal is that whether you make $100k in Florida or Tennessee or New Jersey you should have the same responsibility to pay for our federal government. There should be no federal tax discount just because your local politicians want to steal more of your money. It is a good principal. The "giveback" in the original bill was a significant increase in the standard deduction. Trump has no principals so he is caught being against limiting SALT after being for SALT. He is just pandering, of course. Usually he panders at a lower end of the socio-economic scale (i.e. tip earners and OT wage workers) rather than to upper middle class homeowners in blue states - who were the main group hurt by SALT. However, if he wins only 1 or 2% more votes in the metro Philly, Atlanta, Phoenix, Milwaukee, Detroit, or Las Vegas areas he'll probably win. Therefore, "just win baby" seems to be the theme of this election season. 1

Looking for some education. mspart The OP doesn't like Trump and is going after him for flipping. But to the SALT problem. Basically it is asking fed tax payers in other states to help subsidize folks in high income and property tax states and or those with expensive 2nd/3rd homes paying higher property tax. Why not also make state sales/property/use tax on automobiles, airplanes, boats etc deductible off your fed tax? Just because you want to build a $3M tree house in the NW woods and the state of Washington want to tax you out the wazu for it doesn't mean I should have to help you with your state property tax problem. Now if you are also gonna put in a hot tub and new smoker and invite all your best forum buddies out then ... 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC

Changing the rules 10 years after the mortgage is taken out is what hurts.

Tax law is always changing and one can refinance. 2BPE 11/17/24 SMC
