Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21, signed July 4, 2025) struck the January 1, 2026 sunset dates from both the TCJA's increased standard deduction (Section 63(c)(7)) and the expanded child tax credit (Section 24(h)), making both permanent, and enhanced them - raising the 2025 standard deduction to $15,750 single/$31,500 joint and the child tax credit to $2,200 per child with inflation indexing. IRS inflation adjustments for tax year 2026 confirm the increased standard deduction ($32,200 joint) operating beyond the former expiration date. The specific provisions named in the promise were made permanent as pledged.
