At the Federal level for 2022, there were inflation-indexing adjustments to tax brackets and the standard deduction. There is an increase in the social security wage base.
The White House and Congressional Democrats are still attempting to craft a version of the Build Back Better Act, which is anticipated to include various tax provisions, including a revised State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap (currently $10,000, but may be increased to $80,000), a surcharge on high-income individuals, and enhancements to the child tax credits and advance payments. AIRINC will closely monitor the legislation and will prepare, release, and announce V2s, as necessary.
AIRINC researches more than 150 locations each quarter.
