For me, the lower rates would not fully offset the ability to fully deduct SALT (I itemize too). But what pushes this into the 'win' column for me, is the greatly expanded childcare credits. Higher credits for each kid (I think), and higher incomes before they phase out - I have 3 kids. This, combined with the lower rates, will mean my net pay increases. No thanks to any of the congressional delegation in Connecticut.
