Senate Republicans don’t exactly know what they want the state and local tax deduction cap to be in the reconciliation bill. They just know they don’t like the House’s number.
“There seems to be a growing confidence that whatever number we come up with will be different,” Sen. Kevin Cramer said Wednesday.
Cramer added that senators were still “working out the details” on the state and local tax deduction, which is colloquially known as “SALT” and allows taxpayers to write off their state and local taxes on their federal bill. But as of Wednesday, he said “it sounds like there’s some certainty that our number will be less than House’s.”
