Amid a record-breaking federal government shutdown, Washington, D.C. leaders made an emergency move that impacts key tax breaks for residents.
The D.C. City Council decoupled from the new 2025 Trump tax law, thereby removing local income tax savings tied to the new "no tax on tips" deduction and the $6,000 "senior bonus" deduction. This means District of Columbia residents who qualify for these federal tax breaks won't be able to claim them on their local tax returns.
