Your State's Slice of the $40,000 Cap
Tennessee has no wage income tax — SALT is property tax plus the Hall tax on certain investment income (phased out for most).
- • Property tax alone → SALT; old $10,000 cap rarely bound Tennesseans
- • OBBBA's higher cap changes little for most TN itemizers
- • Phase-out above $500,000 MFJ if you're there
Worked Example
A Nashville MFJ household, $210,000 MAGI: about $5,500 property tax, zero state income tax.
- • Deductible amount: $0
- • Federal income tax savings: $0 (at the 22% marginal rate)
- • Per biweekly paycheck: $0

Frequently Asked Questions
Did the SALT cap increase help Tennessee?
Barely — with no income tax, most Tennesseans' property tax was already under the old $10,000 cap.
Any TN investment income tax left?
The Hall tax has been phased down to zero on most interest/dividend income — little SALT from it.
