Kristi Noem today voted to send the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to President Trump. The legislation has been approved by both the House and Senate. It now awaits the Presidents signature. Noem, who is the first South Dakota representative in history to serve on the Houses tax-reform committee, was one of nine House Republicans to negotiate the final deal. A farmer, rancher, small business owner and mother, Noem fought to double the Child Tax Credit, provide producers with better expensing tools, and lower tax rates across the board. Today is a historic day for the American people, said Noem. With todays vote, we put legislation on President Trumps desk that will put more money in the hands of hard working South Dakotans. Tax rates have been lowered. The standard deduction and Child Tax Credit are both doubled. Farmers and ranchers have access to enhanced expensing tools and a new small business deduction. And job creators have a new incentive to bring their headquarters, jobs and higher wages back onto American soil. Here is the bottom line: The American people deserve more control over their paychecks. Theyve worked hard for that money, and its time for folks in Washington to respect that. Highlights of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Lowers individual tax rates, setting them at 0%, 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37% so people can keep more of their hard-earned money.

Retains popular retirement savings options, such as the 401(k)s and Individual Retirement Accounts. Permanently retains the medical expense deduction and lowers the threshold for two years at a pre-Obamacare level of 7.5% of adjusted gross income. Improves vehicles for education by allowing families to use 529 accounts to save for elementary, secondary, and higher education. Continues the deduction for charitable contributions. Allows businesses to immediately write off the full cost of new equipment, which is critical for South Dakotas agriculture community.
