Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, told nonprofit officials on Tuesday that he wants to expand a newly created tax deduction available to people who don’t itemize their tax returns. His plan would allow American families to claim up to $8,000 on their 2019 taxes, far more than the $300 break passed this spring.
Lee’s comments came during a virtual town-hall meeting hosted by the National Council of Nonprofits on Tuesday that featured a bipartisan group of lawmakers. In addition to Lee, the other Republican attending was Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma. Democrats participating were Senators Chris Coons of Delaware, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, and Jeanne Shaheen, of New Hampshire.
