The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is temporarily quadrupling the state and local tax deduction to at least $40,000, up from $10,000, for the next five years. Now it’s up to taxpayers to see if they can take advantage of this extra write-off, which is popularly referred to as the SALT deduction.

House Speaker Johnson says President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will help the GOP in the midterms. Key Senate races are now in the spotlight as Republicans aim to hold their slim majority in 2026.
