Itemized deduction cap for top earners

Varies

Can You Write Off Itemized Deduction Cap for Top Earners?

Short answer: From 2026, people in the 37% bracket get itemized deductions valued at 35 cents per dollar instead of 37 cents.

It applies on top of the SALT cap.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
