What kind of plan is this . There will be fewer deductions but the big ones, charitable donations and Home Mortgage interest stay. The Child Tax Credit expanded, the standard deductions doubled, the death tax mostly benefiting the wealthy gone, but easing your tax burden is expected to cost trillions of dollars. They have to find a way to pay for it if they want to make it work. This is a now or never moment. Democrats urging the majority dont do it alone. Lets have hearings, lets have people. Republicans insist their plan will create jobs and growth. They want to get it done by the end of this year.
