[Economy\Middle-Class Taxes]
Rep. Underwood: “Before the Republican tax law took effect, taxpayers in our community were able to deduct all of their state and local taxes before calculating their federal tax bill—the average amount is over $14,000 and well over $20,000 for some in our community. Now they’re limited to just $10,000—a loss of thousands for middle class families.”
