Small business owners ask U.S. House tax writers to extend Trump-era deductions • Pennsylvania Capital-Star
The text describes how economists and small business owners are urging U.S. lawmakers to extend or make permanent the Trump-era tax cuts, particularly the deductions that allowed them to reinvest in their operations. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 allowed business owners to deduct up to 20% of qualified business income and temporarily cut taxes on new equipment purchases. If Congress does not extend these deductions, small business owners could face significant tax hikes and be at a disadvantage compared to larger corporations.
