AI Summary

This bill, the SALT Deduction Fairness Act, proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code to increase the limitation on the amount individuals filing joint tax returns can deduct for certain state and local taxes (SALT). Specifically, it would change the limitation from $10,000 (or $5,000 for married individuals filing separately) to $10,000 per individual, effectively doubling the deduction for joint filers. This amendment would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020, providing relief for taxpayers who have faced the cap on SALT deductions implemented in the 2017 tax reform legislation.
