The Main Reason New York Loses Taxpayers To Florida In Large Volume
New York is one of a handful of states that are in a financial crisis.
- Governor Andrew Cuomo and other politicians realize the state needs money due to its severe financial budget deficit

Acceleration Of New York Loses Taxpayers To Florida In Large Volume
The acceleration of New York Loses Taxpayers To Florida In Large Volume was when talks of the Tax Cuts and Job Act was started. The Tax Cuts and Job Act was passed and signed into law in 2017. This law capped the state and local tax deductions at $10,000. This law hurt taxpayers in high-taxed states. The $10,000 deductions cap was substantially lower than the amount claimed by high-income taxpayers. For example, New York taxpayers were able to deduct $22,000 prior to this new law. The new law capped the deductions to only $10,000. This was the fuel that ignited the firestorm of people leaving high-taxed states. The SALT panic of taxpayer fleeing high-tax states is in its early stages. The impact is devastating for the states affected by a huge population of an exodus. As more taxpayers get fed up, more taxpayers and businesses will be fleeing the high tax states in record numbers. Governor Andrew Cuomo credited the SALT cap for saving New York for a $2.3 million financial budget shortage.
