House Votes to Curb Deductions For Individuals
The House Ways and Means Committee approved a plan to raise 500 million by limiting itemized deductions for individuals. It would bar deductions for state and local taxes on gasoline tags licenses cigarettes and alcohol while preserving sales, property and state tax deductions.
