Schumer urged every New York House member to fight against any effort to repeal the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, which thousands of Long Islanders rely on. Schumer said that if the GOP tax plan were to pass, the average Long Island Homeowner could lose about $20,000 from that single deduction alone. Schumer pointed out that this number factors in all four of Long Island’s Congressional districts (NY's 1, 2, 3 and 4). Schumer explained that eliminating this deduction would tug on the purse strings of nearly half of Long Island taxpayers who, on average, claim $19,886 in SALT deductions. Nationwide, approximately 44 million Americans take advantage of this deduction and a repeal could result in more than $1 trillion in losses for taxpayers and their local communities. Schumer said that reductions to—or the removing of these sorts of tax deductions—would hit Long Island particularly hard, given the high local cost of owning a home. Schumer has pledged to fight any efforts that would rollback critical savings deductions used by Long Island homeowners and taxpayers.</p>"}}
