Permanent Tax Cuts for American Families Act of 2025

This bill would keep the higher standard tax deduction in place permanently. That means many people would keep more of their income tax-free before any taxes are calculated. The higher base amounts—$24,000 for joint filers, $18,000 for heads of household, and $12,000 for single filers—would no longer expire, and they would keep rising each year with inflation.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Most taxpayers who take the standard deduction (single, married filing jointly, and head of household).
• What changes: The larger standard deduction amounts are made permanent and will continue to be adjusted each year for inflation.
• When: The changes apply to tax years starting after the law is enacted.
