Trump's tax law to boost incomes more in Republican states
1 / 2FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Trump displays signbature after signing tax bill into law at the White House in WashingtonFILE PHOTO: U.S. President Donald Trump displays his signature after signing the $1.5 trillion tax overhaul plan along with a short-term government spending bill in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, U.S., December 22, 2017.
Trump has often cited the legislation one of his key achievements, although critics say the law mostly cuts taxes for high-income Americans and corporations. Many Americans are also getting smaller tax refunds or owed money than in the past. Households in Democratic-leaning states get less help because the law makes it harder to deduct state and local tax bills from a household's federal obligations. State and local taxes tend to be higher in states that lean Democratic.
