I’m disappointed to see that two especially bad Trump-era tax provisions have not been changed by President Joe Biden:
>> For the rich: The business income deduction, in which owners of companies, real estate investment trusts and publicly traded partnerships can deduct 20% of their income as a deduction, in addition to the standard or itemized deductions.
>> Against the poor: Deletion of the unreimbursed employee business expense deduction. This used to include things like uniforms, union dues, per diem for truckers, tools and supplies, and more.
