“Today, with my support, the House passed the first major reform to our nation’s tax code in three decades. Throughout this process, I’ve fought for the best interests of Central New York and I’m proud to have delivered several significant wins. This bill safeguards the Historic Preservation Tax Credit, the income exclusion for graduate tuition waivers, and tax-exempt status for private activity bonds. It doubles the standard deduction, lowers individual rates, expands the Child Tax Credit, and importantly, preserves the local property and income tax deduction,” Katko said in a statement following the vote.
