    The Big Beautiful Bill's Impact on State Taxes, Explained

    Congress may have passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), but state lawmakers now face big choices. Most states link their tax codes to the federal system, meaning OBBBA’s provisions—good and bad—are about to ripple across state budgets.     In this episode, we explain why federal tax changes can automatically affect your state tax bill, the costly new personal deductions with limited benefits, and the pro-growth business provisions that remove barriers to investment and jobs.  Support the show Follow us! https://twitter.com/TaxFoundation https://twitter.com/deductionpod Support the show
