SALT deduction allows taxpayers to itemize state and local taxes in their filing, including property taxes.

The State and Local Tax deduction has been a wedge between Democrats and Republicans but now a division between GOP House members from high-tax districts and fiscal hardliners.

SALT has become a sticking point in Republican infighting over Trump 's " Big Beautiful Bill ".

A tentative deal that would raise the cap to $ 30,000 threatened GOP leadership's hopes to get the bill to the floor for a vote.

Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland said the SALT deal pushes hardliners "further away from a deal" Hardliners were to meet with Trump on Wednesday afternoon to see if he can break the impasse.
