Violetastoimenova | E+ | Getty ImagesHouse lawmakers are weighing relief for a "marriage penalty" that impacts the federal deduction limit on state and local taxes, known as SALT. While the bill doesn't have broad support, it could help shape future tax policy discussions, experts say. Without changes from Congress, the $10,000 limit will sunset after 2025 and there will be no deduction cap. Lawmakers on Wednesday afternoon will cast a procedural vote on the bill for future House consideration. As discussions continue about expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, the SALT cap "is going to be one of the biggest sticking points," he said.

In 2018, I left Dallas, Texas and moved to Copenhagen, Denmark to live with my Danish husband. Now, at 30 years old, I'm a mother and teacher with a permanent residence in Denmark. The work cultureWhen I was an elementary school teacher in Texas, I was easily working close to 55 or 60 hours a week, even though I was contracted for 45 hours. There is a mentality that you work to live, you don't live to work. At first, I wasn't sure what to expect from a public health care system, but I have been very satisfied with my experience.

It feels like a city, but it's small enough that everything is still accessibleIn 2018, I married my Danish husband and moved from Dallas, Texas to Copenhagen, Denmark. American grocery stores have a wide variety of ingredients and interesting foods. In Denmark, grocery stores tend to be smaller and offer a limited selection. But I still convert prices from the Danish kroner to the dollar pretty often. But in Copenhagen, they're often delivered to pickup points in grocery stores, convenience stores, or other public locations.

In June 2018, I packed three suitcases and booked a one-way flight from Texas to join my husband in Denmark. My husband viewed the apartment in person and sent me photos while I was still in Dallas. But we had to pay two month's rent upfront, and three month's rent as a security deposit. The main area in our apartment is one big room that includes our kitchen, dining room and living room. I'm able to enjoy the time that I'm not at work because I'm not as stressed out anymore.

Scott Olson | Getty ImagesEight candidates will take the stage for the first Republican presidential debate on Wednesday night — and experts are watching closely for comments on key tax policy issues. "The 800-pound gorilla in the room is the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the expiration of all the individual income tax provisions slated after 2025," said John Buhl, senior communications manager at the Tax Policy Center. Enacted in 2017, former President Donald Trump's signature tax legislation ushered in sweeping changes to the tax code including lower income tax brackets, higher standard deductions and a significantly larger estate tax exclusion, among other provisions. Most Americans could see higher taxesOne of the closely-watched Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions is changes to the individual income tax brackets. "I don't think we're going to see a complete extension of everything in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act," she said.

John Miller | iStock | Getty ImagesA group of House Republicans are revisiting the Fair Tax Act, which would replace certain federal levies with a national sales tax and decentralize the IRS. Erica York Senior economist and research manager at the Tax FoundationThe Fair Tax Act comes amid increased scrutiny of the $79.6 billion in IRS funding, enacted through the Inflation Reduction Act in August. After months of critique, House Republicans in January voted to rescind the funding. A 'pretty significant' tax hike for the middle classWhile the Fair Tax Act isn't likely to gain traction in Congress, experts say the plan would be a significant change for middle-income earners and the wealthiest Americans. If enacted, middle-income earners would see a "pretty significant tax increase," and the wealthiest Americans would see the biggest cuts, according to John Buhl, senior communications manager at the Tax Policy Center.

“We’re seeing forms of stress in all of our species of trees,” said Christine Buhl, a forest entomologist with the Oregon Department of Forestry. Trained observers peer outside both sides of the plane, looking for noticeable damage to trees. “You definitely have to have a stomach of steel.”This year, the aerial observation program flew over about 69 million acres of Washington and Oregon forest in about 246 hours. Oregon’s average temperatures have risen about 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit since 1895, according to a 2021 state climate assessment delivered to the state’s Legislature. “It was the combination of the high temperatures in the afternoon with the sun boring down,” said Chris Still, a professor in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University.
