What to Watch as the Tax Bill Heads to the Final Step in Congress

WNYC News | Dec 4, 2017

The Senate approved a bill overhauling the U.S. tax code early Saturday morning, a major legislative victory for Republicans.

Now, all that's left before the bill can become law is for House and Senate GOP leaders to settle their differences in a conference committee.

One last minute change: The Senate bill now matches the House bill, in that it allows homeowners to deduct up to $10,000 in property taxes from their federal returns. But some New York and New Jersey Republicans say that still isn't enough. 

WNYC Washington correspondent John O'Connor tells us where they agree, and what the remaining sticking points are.
