Before 2018, the tax break — including state and local income and property taxes — was unlimited for filers who itemized deductions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans on Monday proposed deeper Medicaid cuts, including new work requirements for parents of teens, as a way to offset the costs of making President Donald Trump’s tax breaks more permanent in draft legislation unveiled for his “big, beautiful bill.”

The proposal calls for "permanently" extending the $10,000 cap on so-called SALT deductions, first passed by Congress in 2017 and signed into law by President Donald Trump during his first term. Before 2017, there was no limit on the amount of state and local tax deductions a homeowner could write off when filing their federal income taxes.
