House and Senate Move to Reconciliation Bill that Will Cut Taxes
April 17, 2025
Tax Day came and went this week, much to everyone’s chagrin. Whether you owed money or received a little extra, we all have to understand how much the state and federal governments are pulling from our paychecks. While DOGE is busy making sure that our tax dollars are spent wisely, Congress is working to reduce the tax burden through the reconciliation process.
On the cusp of a two-week Easter recess, the House passed the Senate amended budget resolution last week that unlocks the door to crafting a reconciliation package. Although there was some uncertainty from the Senate on whether or not tax cuts would be included, the House succeeded in having them included in the final resolution. With the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) expiring at the end of this year, it is imperative that it be extended. The budget resolution is now making that happen by providing $1.5 trillion for the Finance Committee to prevent any tax hikes by including TCJA’s policies.
