Tax Relief for Middle Class Families Act of 2023 is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who itemize deductions and pay large state and local tax bills. That often includes homeowners with high property taxes and people in states or cities with higher income taxes. People who take the standard deduction would not use this larger cap. The bill could also affect federal tax revenue because larger deductions can mean less taxable income.
Why this matters: This bill could lower federal taxes for people who already pay large state and local tax bills. It matters most for taxpayers who itemize deductions and live in higher-tax areas. The tradeoff is that bigger deductions can lower federal tax revenue. The bill does not state how much revenue could be lost or which income groups would benefit most.
