* Corporate tax cuts:
* The TCJA reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%.
* Individual tax cuts:
* It made changes to individual tax brackets, leading to tax cuts for some individuals.
* It doubled the standard deduction, which reduced the number of people who itemize their deductions.
* Economic impacts:
* There have been ongoing discussions about the economic impacts of the law, with proponents arguing that it spurred economic growth, while opponents pointed out that it increased the federal deficit.
* Most of the individual tax cut provisions are set to expire in 2025, leading to discussions about extending them.
* Controversy:
* There is significant debate about who benefited the most from these tax cuts. Some say that the wealthy and large corporations disproportionately benefited. Others argue that the tax cuts led to economic growth that benefited everyone.
