As Westchester, Rockland and Putnam County homeowners wait with bated breath to learn the fate of a critical tax deduction they rely upon, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer today pushed a new effort to restore New York State’s ability to work-around the part of the federal tax law that takes an unfair aim at the state by eliminating a homeowners’ SALT tax deduction, costing them tens-of-thousands of dollars. Schumer explained that just as New York State was tying the bow on its workaround plan by passing a law that circumvented the feds, the IRS swooped in and used regulations to squash everything, adding insult to injury for local homeowners. Therefore, Schumer pushed his use of a special legislative power provided under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) Resolution of Disapproval to overturn that bad and recent IRS decision in hopes of once again making Westchester and Rockland County homeowners eligible for their full SALT deduction.
