#TrumpTaxCuts It looks like you’re bringing up #TrumpTaxCuts — this typically refers to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) signed into law by President Donald Trump in December 2017.
Here’s a quick summary:
• Corporate tax rate: Lowered from 35% to 21%.
• Individual tax cuts: Most tax brackets were reduced; for example, the top rate dropped from 39.6% to 37%.
• Standard deduction: Nearly doubled, from $6,350 to $12,000 for single filers (and from $12,700 to $24,000 for married couples).
• State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions: Capped at $10,000, which especially impacted residents of high-tax states like New York and California.
• Child Tax Credit: Doubled from $1,000 to $2,000 per child.
• Corporate and business changes: Created a 20% deduction for certain types of small businesses (pass-through entities).
Impact:
• Supporters argue it spurred economic growth, boosted wages, and lowered unemployment.
• Critics argue it increased the federal deficit and disproportionately benefited the wealthy and corporations.
