SALT increase would be deduction for wealthyApr 22, 2019 1:26 PM - Democrat House Reps. Underwood/Casten's bill was introduced to raise the cap on the SALT, state and local tax deduction, from $10,000 to $15,000, citing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as a disproportionate tax burden on Illinois families. Truth is the Underwood/Casten Bill is an automatic increased tax deduction benefit for the wealthy, not lower to middle income taxpayers. Given median income $92,461 in Underwood's 14th Congressional District, and $98,889 in Casten's 6th District, benefits in both districts are dependent on high income to itemize tax deductions. More Illinois taxes equal more benefit. The estimated maximum benefit gained is 32 percent of $5,000, or $1,600.
