House Republicans who secured a bigger cap on state and local tax deductions are pushing back on Senate Republicans, who are keeping the SALT cap at $10,000 in their forthcoming legislation as a placeholder for negotiations over the contentious issue.

The Washington Examiner confirmed on Monday that the Senate Finance Committee’s soon-to-be-released version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act reverts the SALT cap to $10,000. The House-passed version of the legislation quadrupled the cap to $40,000.
