National and State News

NAR has been actively engaged in the long-developing tax reform debate in Washington, D.C. This update outlines NAR’s increased advocacy profile in anticipation of tax reform developments.

Upcoming Congressional Actions:

On Wednesday, September 27, 2017 the “Group of Six” consisting of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady and National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn will release a broad tax reform outline.

The plan is expected to double the standard deduction and eliminate all personal deductions except the Mortgage Interest Deduction and the deduction for Charitable Contributions. The plan eliminates the deduction for State and Local Taxes. This one-two punch will deliver a crippling blow to middle class homeowners by removing economic incentives for home-ownership and raising taxes by an average of $851. By doubling the standard deduction, the Mortgage Interest Deduction would only be available to the top 5% of taxpayers.
