#TrumpTaxCuts The "Trump Tax Cuts" generally refers to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which was signed into law by President Donald Trump in December 2017. Here's a breakdown of key aspects:
Key Components of the TCJA:
* Corporate Tax Cuts:
* The most significant change was a sharp reduction in the corporate income tax rate, from 35% to 21%.
* Individual Income Tax Changes:
* The law also made changes to individual income tax rates, though these changes are set to expire at the end of 2025.
* It increased the standard deduction and made adjustments to various deductions and credits.
* It altered the child tax credit.
* Other Provisions:
* The TCJA also included changes to the estate tax and international tax rules.
Current Situation and Future Considerations:
