Would take only one or two large state tax disputes like that get to $160M for high-net-worth/business owner types?

Could those be refunds related to pre-2018 years? Like you paid state tax, challenged the state tax calculation and then in 2019 or 2022 you received the money?

It's not quite like pop quiz level who-did-what polling, but @s-stantcheva.bsky.social does interesting survey research work in this area.

That is a very House Guy use of "other office" instead of "higher office."

but for a lot of these, it's a state choice about whether to conform. Arizona starts with federal AGI so the legislature can decide whether to allow state-level tips/overtime deductions.

weird that SALT would have that effect given that you can't deduct state taxes from state taxes?

FWIW, Sen. Mullin said this week that he didn't view the PTET issue as tied to the SALT discussions with House members that he's been having.
