Federal Tax Reform and the States
Enactment of federal tax reform late last year has states scrambling to figure out what it would mean for them.
What this means: A number of jurisdictions are considering bills to allow taxpayers to convert newly nondeductible tax payments into deductible charitable contributions made to certain state-sponsored charities.
Projected windfall revenues are in store for some states while others face an unexpected decline in federal support. It is the states’ reaction to the new federal limitation of state and local tax (SALT) deductions that has captured most of the media attention.
Race to the Courts – A Constitutional Issue?
Some states are also pursuing judicial remedies in addition to their legislative efforts. A coalition of three northeastern Democratic governors have announced their plans to file suit alleging that Congress' decision to cap the SALT deduction violates the Constitution.
Wait and See: These are just the first reactions to what will ultimately prove to be a multi-year effort to reshape state tax systems in light of the challenges — and opportunities — associated with federal tax reform.
