If you’re a business owner, taxes aren’t just numbers on a page—they’re a major factor in your financial future. One ongoing tax headache is the $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions, which limits how much you can write off on your federal return. Now, there’s a proposal to double the cap to $20,000 for married couples, but what does that really mean for you?
A Small Fix with Big Gaps
Since 2017, the SALT cap has hit business owners in high-tax states the hardest. Whether you own a small real estate firm in California or run a consulting business in New York, this cap forces you to pay federal taxes on income that’s already heavily taxed at the state level. While raising the cap to $20,000 for married couples might sound like relief, it still leaves many business owners—especially single filers—stuck with heavy tax bills.
And here’s the kicker: this change would cost the government an estimated $100–$200 billion while still not solving the problem for most taxpayers.
