- SALT Deduction - Battle Lines Have Been Set and Swords Have Been Drawn
- Tax reform has limited the federal itemized deduction for state income and local government taxes (including property taxes), collectively referred to as the SALT deduction, to $10,000 a year.

Many called it political retribution by the Republican-controlled Congress against blue states.
