What this bill would do

This bill, titled the ``Permanent Tax Cuts for American Families Act of 2025'', seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary goal is to permanently increase the standard deduction. Specifically, it proposes changing the amount in subparagraph (B) from $4,400 to $18,000. It also proposes changing the amount in subparagraph (C) from $3,000 to $12,000. Additionally, the bill modifies how inflation adjustments are handled for these amounts. These changes would apply to taxable years beginning after the Act is enacted.
