Inside Trump’s Bill on SALT Write-Off, Harvard Tax, Medicaid Cuts, Spending Expense

Republicans passed Trump’s house bill, extending his 2017 tax cuts and introducing major policy changes. Key measures include raising the SALT deduction cap to $40,000, exempting tips and overtime pay from income tax, tightening Medicaid and food stamp requirements, eliminating tax credits, and introducing a 3.5% remittance tax sent abroad by immigrants.

The bill also imposes steep new taxes on elite universities and large private foundations, upgrading tax breaks, and incentivizing U.S. factory construction through depreciation. New fossil fuel lease sales are mandated, creating tax-free “Trump Accounts” for children, expanding military and border spending, and restoring the FCC’s power to auction radio spectrum.

AICPA Recommends Changes to Proposed PTEP Regulations on Various Basis Adjustments

AICPA urges Treasury and IRS to clarify proposed regulations under Sections 959 and 961 on previously taxed earnings and profits (PTEP) and basis adjustments, emphasizing the need for taxpayers on said rules before finalization. Comments include allowing such reliance, extending PTEP distribution rules, with distributions recognized as current tax recoveries.

AICPA suggests treating PTEP distributions as tax-exempt income if their main proposals aren’t established, recommending derived basis rules to foreign nongrantor trusts, aiming to ensure consistent tax methods, reducing taxpayer uncertainty, and upholding the PTEP’s intent on preventing double income taxation already under Subpart F, GILTI, or similar rules.
