JENKINS STATEMENT ON TAX CUTS & JOBS ACT | 2017-12-15 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Republican | House | WV | Evan Jenkins | J000297 | evanjenkins.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON U.S. Representative Evan Jenkins (R-W.Va.) issued the following statement today on the House and Senate agreement on the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act: The work the House and Senate have done over the past weeks has strengthened this legislation. The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act preserves important West Virginia priorities, including the mortgage interest deduction, the historic tax credit and the medical expenses deduction. I personally advocated for West Virginias priorities and worked with leadership to make sure they were included in the final bill. Ive made the conference report and a summary available on my website so West Virginians can join me in carefully reviewing the bill before next weeks vote, Rep. Jenkins said. The conference report and a two-page summary are available on Rep. Jenkins website at https://evanjenkins.house.gov/issues/tax-reform. Under this bill, a family of four earning the median family income of $73,000 will receive a tax cut of $2,059. It also protects coal jobs by repealing the alternative minimum tax, which prevents investment in new equipment for mines. Additionally, it preserves critical deductions and credits, including: Medical expense deductions Historic tax credits Tax-free graduate school tuition waivers Student loan interest deductions Mortgage interest deductions State and local tax deductions Deductions for teachers buying classroom supplies Adoption tax credits. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
