Updates on the 2025 Tax Bill Timeline
The anticipated timeline for the 2025 tax bill indicates that the House of Representatives is expected to vote on it by Memorial Day, with a target for the Senate to finalize it by July 4th. Internal conflicts regarding funding, particularly concerning cuts to Medicaid and green energy programs, may impact the bill's passage. One of the provisions under discussion is the continuation of 100% bonus depreciation, which many stakeholders hope will remain in the final version of the bill. However, the future of the SALT cap remains uncertain, with discussions leaning towards potentially doubling it for married couples filing jointly from $10,000 to $20,000, although definitive outcomes are yet to be seen.
