Starting in 2025, the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions increases from $10,000 ($5,000 for married couples filing separately) to $40,000 ($20,000 for separate filers). If your 2026 property taxes have already been assessed, prepaying them in 2025 could help you maximize your 2025 deduction. But keep in mind that the cap is reduced for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross incomes over $500,000 ($250,000 for separate filers). Let us help you determine how to incorporate the increased SALT deduction limit into your tax planning.
