    Federal individual income taxes

    The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was passed in 2017 and was first effective during the 2018 tax season. It made sweeping changes to the individual provisions of the federal tax code, particularly the standard deduction and itemized deductions.

    What’s in Trump’s 2026 budget proposal? – USAFacts

    What’s in Trump’s 2026 budget proposal?

    The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was a large piece of legislation that made several budgetary changes. Some of its provisions are permanent; other provisions won’t go into effect until later next year. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has released its proposed budget for discretionary spending in fiscal year 2026, which begins on October 1. Here’s a look at the proposed changes:

    The proposed 2026 budget would keep base discretionary spending at the same level as 2025, but shifts billions out of some departments and into others. It would move $113.3 billion to the DOD, meaning the department would have 59.6% of all base discretionary spending.

    The Department of Homeland Security budget would have the largest percentage increase (64.9%) to support immigration enforcement and other administration policies. Funding for FEMA, TSA, and cybersecurity, among other programs, would be reduced.  

    The State Department and international aid programs would be cut by 83.7%, including reductions in international disaster assistance and global health efforts. 

    The administration also proposes a 43.6% decrease in program funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, reducing it from $77.0 billion to $43.5 billion. This includes a $26.7 billion cut in federal rental assistance programs.
      The Education Department’s discretionary budget would drop 15.3%, from $78.7 billion to $66.7 billion. (You can read USAFacts Founder Steve Ballmer’s open letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon on LinkedIn.)

    What’s in the “One Big Beautiful Bill”?From tax reform to shifts in healthcare, immigration, and SNAP, this legislation will likely affect you.
    Published July 3, 2025 by the USAFacts team

    What’s in the “One Big Beautiful Bill”?

    Congress has passed its next major spending bill. This legislation, called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” would lower some taxes, change funding for various federal programs, raise the debt ceiling, and changes many other parts of the federal government with the goal of aligning with the Trump administration’s priorities.

    The bill was negotiated through a process called reconciliation, which Congress can use to change laws that affect the country’s budget. The process limits the time the Senate can spend debating to 20 hours, eliminating the possibility of a filibuster. It also means that the bill can pass with a simple majority of 51 votes in the Senate (or 50 plus the vice president’s tie-breaking vote) rather than the supermajority of 60 votes typically needed to avoid a filibuster.

    Healthcare: Medicaid and uninsured rates

    The bill approved cuts to Medicaid, a health program jointly run by states and the federal government to help people with limited income cover medical costs. It’s funded through mandatory federal spending which renews automatically each year without needing Congressional approval.

    In 2024, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a subagency of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), spent $1.5 trillion, the most of all HHS subagencies. Of that, $638 billion went towards Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

    Medicaid enrollment peaked in 2023 at 100 million people. Enrollment has declined 15.5% since then, falling to 84.6 million enrollees by June 2024.
