Election day is less than a week away. For any of you last minute voters and people who are on the fence & not sure about which candidate is best for you; I took the liberty of doing some research. I found a website https://taxfoundation.org/2020-tax-tracker that has been following all of the candidates proposed tax plans and explains them to you.
TRUMP
Repeatedly called for “Tax Cuts 2.0,” a self-claimed middle-class tax cut. Currently the plan involves reducing the 24% marginal tax rate on personal income to 15%.
–
Would make unspecified “permanent cuts to the payroll tax” and forgive deferred 2020 employee-side payroll taxes.
