+# TCJA after 2025
+
+Many provisions of the TCJA are temporary and are scheduled to end
+after 2025 under current-law policy.  Tax policy parameters that are
+associated with expiring provisions and that are not inflation indexed
+will revert to their 2017 values in 2026.  Tax policy parameters that
+are associated with expiring provisions and that are inflation indexed
+will revert to their 2017 values indexed to 2026 using a chained CPI-U
+inflation factor.  For a list of the ending TCJA provisions, see this
+Congressional Research Service document: [Reference Table: Expiring
+Provisions in the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" (TCJA, P.L. 115-97)](
+https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R47846), which is dated
+November 21, 2023.
+
+This document provides examples of using the PSLmodels Tax-Calculator
+command-line-interface tool
+[tc](https://taxcalc.pslmodels.org/guide/cli.html) with the newer
+`tmd.csv` file generated in the PSLmodels
+[tax-microdata](https://github.com/PSLmodels/tax-microdata-benchmarking)
+repository.  The `tmd` data and weights are based on the 2015 IRS/SOI
+PUF data and on recent CPS data, and therefore, are the best data to
+use with Tax-Calculator.  All the examples assume you have the [three
+`tmd` data
+files](https://taxcalc.pslmodels.org/usage/data.html#irs-public-use-data-tmd-csv)
+in the parent directory of your working directory.  The `tmd` data
+contain information on 225,256 tax filing units.
+
+Before reading the rest of this document, be sure you understand how
+to use the Tax-Calculator command-line tool
+[tc](https://taxcalc.pslmodels.org/guide/cli.html), particularly the
+`--baseline` and `--reform` command-line options.  For complete and
+up-to-date `tc` documentation, enter `tc --help` at the command
+prompt.  Omitting the `--baseline` option means the baseline policy is
+current-law policy.  Omitting the `--reform` option means the reform
+policy is current-law policy.  The `--tables` option produces two
+tables in one file: the top table contains aggregate and income decile
+estimates under the reform and the bottom table contains estimates of
+reform-minus-baseline differences by income decile and in aggregate.
+
+Nobody knows how the 2025 tax legislation will turn out, so the idea
+of this document is to illustrate how to use the Tax-Calculator CLI
+tool to analyze some of the TCJA revisions that were being reported in
+the press in early May 2025.  The basic legislative goal is to extend
+TCJA beyond 2025, but there is discussion of a number of **revisions**
+to the basic extension.  The revisions being discussed include, but
+are not limited to, raising the SALT deduction cap, making social
+security benefits nontaxable, and liberalizing the child tax credit.
+(Given the nature of the reconciliation rules under which the
+legislation is being developed, no changes in social security
+financing can be made, so there is discussion of a higher
+elderly/disability standard deduction amount to proxy the nontaxable
+social security benefits revision.)
+These revisions all cause reductions in income tax revenue, so there
+is also discussion about **enhancements** to the extended-TCJA policy
+that would raise revenue to pay for revisions.  The enhancement
+considered here is the one that adds a new top income tax bracket with
+a 39.6 percent marginal tax rate.
+
+The analysis examples below focus on the following policy scenarios:
+
+1. a strict extension of TCJA without any revisions or enhancements
+2. a TCJA extension with the nontaxable social security benefits revision
+3. a TCJA extension with the higher elderly/disabled standard deduction revision
+4. a TCJA extension with the higher elderly/disabled standard deduction revision and the new top tax bracket enhancement
+
+All the examples use Tax-Calculator 4.6.2 version.
+```
+% tc --version
+Tax-Calculator 4.6.2 on Python 3.12
+```
+
+The examples below were done on an ancient Mac with an old Intel
+processor with four CPU cores.  The execution times on newer computers
+should be substantially less than shown below.  In all the examples,
+each `tc` run is using just one CPU core.
+
+The
+[`ext.json`](https://github.com/PSLmodels/Tax-Calculator/blob/master/taxcalc/reforms/ext.json)
+reform file is used all the examples.  See the section at the end of
+this document for more information on `ext.json` contents.
+

+
+Because the aggregate change in taxes is displayed on the last line of
+the tables file (in column four), we can look at the ten changes like
+this:

+ A   200.83   28883.0    -339.7       0.0       0.0    -339.7
+```
+
+And the ten-year change in aggregate federal income tax liability can
+be tabulated this way:
+
+```
+% tail -1 tmd-??-#-ext-#-tables.text | awk '$1~/A/{n++;c+=$4}END{print n,c}'
+10 -3086.3
+```
+
+
+## 2. TCJA extension with the nontaxable social security benefits revision
+
+There is some discussion of exempting all social security benefits
+from federal income taxation.  Here is a JSON file that implements
+that reform:
+
+```
+% cat no_ssben_tax.json 
+{
+    "SS_percentage1": {"2026": 0.0},
+    "SS_percentage2": {"2026": 0.0}
+}
+```
+
+The marginal effect of adding that reform on to the TCJA-extension can be
+estimated in this 2026 run:
+
+```
+% tc ../tmd.csv 2026 --baseline ext.json --reform ext.json+no_ssben_tax.json --exact --tables 
+Read input data for 2021; input data were extrapolated to 2026
+Write tabular output to file tmd-26-ext-ext+no_ssben_tax-#-tables.text
+Execution time is 33.4 seconds
+
+% tail -1 tmd-26-ext-ext+no_ssben_tax-#-tables.text
+ A   192.41   20828.3    -110.7       0.0       0.0    -110.7
+```
+
+So, this reform reduces federal income tax liability by $110.7 billion in
+2026.
+
+
+## 3. TCJA extension with the higher elderly/disabled standard deduction revision
+
+Next we find a reform that approximates the `no_ssben_tax` reform
+analyzed in the previous section.  Trying higher values for the
+`STD_Aged` parameter, we quickly find that $31,500 for all filing
+statuses produces a reasonable approximation of the effects of the
+`no_ssben_tax` reform.
+
+```
+% cat higher_aged_std.json 
+{
+    "STD_Aged": {"2026": [31500, 31500, 31500, 31500, 31500]}
+}
+
+% tc ../tmd.csv 2026 --baseline ext.json --reform ext.json+higher_aged_std.json --exact --tables
+Read input data for 2021; input data were extrapolated to 2026
+Write tabular output to file tmd-26-ext-ext+higher_aged_std-#-tables.text

+## 4. TCJA extension with the higher elderly/disabled standard deduction revision and the new top tax bracket enhancement
+
+In this last example, we look at how much of the extra cost of the
+`higher_aged_std` reform can be paid for by adding a new top income
+tax bracket to the TCJA-extension reform.

+
+So, the new top bracket (with a 39.6% marginal tax rate) raises
+aggregate federal income tax liability by enough to pay for the TCJA
+revision that approximates making social security benefits tax-free
+and produces an additional $15.8 billion (in 2026) that could be used
+to pay for other revisions.
+
+While those with the highest incomes do pay more tax, the reduction in
+their after-tax expanded income is quite small as can be seen in one
+of the standard graphs:
+`tmd-26-ext+higher_aged_std-ext+higher_aged_std+new_top_bracket-#-pch.html`.
+This graph shows that the top one percent of the income distribution
+experiences a decline in after-tax income of about 0.36 percent (or
+less than four dollars per thousand dollars).
+
+Here are the ten-year results for this run:

+10 187.9
+```
+
+So, there is nearly $188 billion left to pay for other revisions to
+the basic TCJA extension.
+
+
+## How is the `ext.json` file generated?
+
+The short answer is by using the
+[`extend_tcja.py`](https://github.com/PSLmodels/Tax-Calculator/blob/master/extend_tcja.py) script.
+
+Reading the `extend_tcja.py` script will provide details on how the
+values in the `ext.json` file are generated.
+
+It is important to bear in mind that the `extend_tcja.py` script will
+generate a different `ext.json` file whenever the CBO economic
+projection (incorporated in the Tax-Calculator `growfactors.csv` file)
+changes or whenever new historical values of policy parameters are
+added to the `policy_current_law.json` file thereby changing the
+`Policy.LAST_KNOWN_YEAR`.
+
+Beginning with the 4.5.0 version, Tax-Calculator incorporates the
+January 2025 CBO economic projection and contains historical tax
+policy parameter values through 2025.
