TCJA Permanency Act: Tax Changes for Families and Businesses

This act aims to make permanent many tax changes introduced in 2017 that were set to expire. This means current tax rates, family credits, and small business rules will remain in effect, impacting your personal and business finances long-term.
Key points
Individual, married, and head of household tax rates are permanently modified, potentially affecting your income tax liability.
The increased standard deduction and modified child tax credit are made permanent, which could mean lower tax burdens for many families.
Rules for tax deductions, such as the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap and mortgage interest, are maintained, impacting your ability to deduct expenses.
The estate and gift tax exemption amount is increased, which is relevant for estate planning.
Increased Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) exemption limits for individuals are made permanent, potentially shielding more people from this tax.
