THE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN UNKNOWNS: There remain lots of research Qs to chew on from this filing season, including:
- Why were OT claims so high?
- How many claimed higher SALT?
- Will info reporting change future tips/OT claims?
- Will any of these tax cuts cost more than expected?
WILL ANYONE CARE? The political question of this filing season is whether folks will notice a positive tax change in 2026 & attribute it to the 2025 tax cuts.
@bipartisanpolicy.org polling indicates a hazy connection, something that has challenged both parties' signature laws before.
