We’ll the property tax alone exceeds the standard deduction. But I didn’t take that into account.
But I’d suddenly be able to deduct charitable contributions again, or rather it would make sense to. So my deductions would be ~50k ish rather than 24k ish. Net savings in the neighborhood of 10k still.

Not really, it’s just that my only deduction I get is the 10k limit of my property tax. So unless I donate >14k in a year the it makes sense to take the standard deduction. I donate just under that typically. So when they were about to change the law in 2018 I made a (tax deductible) multi-year equivalent deduction to a donor-advised fund which I now use for donations. If they change the law I could start donating out of personal funds again and take the full deduction, since my property tax alone gets me above standard deduction territory.

Yep. Met with my financial guy today to work on whether or not to do Roth conversions. Doesn't look like it will make much sense for us. But the charitable contribution deduction (QCD) against the RMD might help when we hit that in a few years.

My property taxes are creeping up to 40k, only 10k is deductible. If they let me deduct it all that’s a nice 10k boost on the margin.

If I’m reading it right, the new provision being voted on today is an 80k deduction limit and it covers this year!
Yay!

Was the SALT part of the infrastructure package? Or is it part of the 1.75 Trillion Dollar Sweepstakes?

The latter.

So it still has to get past the Senate.

Yeah but they've been working on Manchin and Sinema through the process so I think the understanding is it'll get through.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are people in your area who live in a trailer park but drive a Porsche. I wonder what kinds of incentives are caused by such massive property taxes, as opposed to collecting the same money via income tax or VAT.

I do not believe you will find any trailer parks in Jon's neighborhood. Nor in the surrounding area.

But I do believe the GOP will be campaigning all over this one.

No surprise it passed the House.
The Senate may be a different story.

Trump's surprise post on SALT deductions Tuesday has forced Senate Republicans into a pickle: contradict their party's leader or their old positions.
Why it matters: For Republican leaders, it's a taste of what's to come if Trump wins back the White House.
They'll have to harmonize their own positions — in real time — with a president who is constantly changing his.
Trump posted he would "get SALT back."That's a strong indication he wants to let those in high-tax states deduct more than $10,000 from their federal taxes — a limit he championed in his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
and
The bottom line: Removing the $10,000 SALT cap would cost an estimated $1.2 trillion over a decade, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Government.
An estimated 92% of the benefit would go to the top 10% of earners, according to CRFB. -

Just to show you how old I am, I thought this was about the nuclear arms race. (If you have to look that up, you are too young)
