SALT Cap Goes from $10K to $40K—Is Your State Killing Your Profits?
If you live in a high-tax state—think California, New York, or even Texas counties with steep property levies—you’ve long felt the sting of the $10,000 SALT deduction cap. But under the newly enacted Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2025, that cap quadruples to $40,000 for tax years 2025–2029.
How the New SALT Rules Work
“The SALT cap increase is temporary, income-limited, and indexed—we dug into the bill to confirm every detail.”
– Tonya, in our July webinar
Cap Increase: From $10K to $40K total deduction for state and local income, sales, and property taxes.
Income Limits: Phased out when AGI exceeds $500K (single) / $1M (married filing jointly).
Duration: Applies only from 2025 through 2029—reverts back in 2030.
Why This Matters to You
Digital entrepreneurs often reinvest profits in home offices, equipment, and team retreats—frequently incurring significant state and local taxes along the way. By multiplying your SALT deduction by four, you can:
Free up cash flow for marketing, R&D, or simply more family time.
Avoid surprises at tax-time when your property tax bill tops six figures.
Improve planning accuracy for quarterly estimated payments.
Three Steps to Maximize Your SALT Savings
Gather Your Records: Collect year-to-date property, state income, and sales-tax bills by September.
Project Your AGI: Ensure you stay below the phase-out threshold or plan entity and retirement strategies to minimize AGI.
Book Your SALT Analysis: We’ll calculate exactly how much more you can deduct—and how it flows through your 2025 return.
“Clients in high-tax counties are saving $20K–$30K more than last year—just from the SALT cap bump alone.”
– Tonya

"Misty and her team did a phenomenal job with my taxes this year!! It was quick and painless, and when I did have some questions about what to do or what to upload they were thorough and quick to respond. Everything was extremely organized and fast! Will absolutely be using them again. Thanks!!"

"My company has been through several well-meaning bookkeepers in the last several years, but they just couldn't get the job done. Then I found Misty and her crew. Wow, what a relief to finally find someone who really takes care of business! They took over and took care of all the things a bookkeeper should, and much more. I have less to fret about now, which gives me more time to conduct business and generate revenue."
