Senate panel approves permanent tax cut sweeping standard deduction changes
The Senate Finance Committee backed a permanent tax cut averaging about 105 dollars annually for 46 million couples or individuals using the standard deduction, with 2.1 million singles facing about 512 dollars more. The plan shifts roughly 3.7 million from itemizing to standard deduction, while the marriage penalty would be reduced to 1200 dollars. The move mirrors a House bill’s rebates and signals a broader tax overhaul amid inflation data showing modest gains in wages and consumer prices.
