Senate Proposal Proposes Tax Rules and Homeowner Benefit
The committee backed a small tax shift to ensure capital gains taxed at 5 percent even with sheltering devices. A one time principal residence gain exclusion up to 100000 dollars was allowed. The House rejected entertainment deductions limits and the GOP plan to slash income taxes, arguing tax cuts would spur growth. The bill would raise personal exemptions to 1000 dollars, widen brackets, and curb state gas deductions while revising medical deductions and increasing taxes for about 2.6 million filers.
