Darin LaHood (R-IL), a member of the Ways and Means Committee, told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>A source with knowledge of the plans said members of the committee are going to be discussing their tax preferences based on discussions among the group that have been occurring for months and even years. The gatherings are part of a concerted effort to determine the path forward for reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ), a member of the committee, described the meeting as &ldquo;just doing our job.&rdquo; He said the meeting will be closed-door, meaning the press won&rsquo;t be in the room, although there will be staff present.<\/p>\n<p>The congressman also pointed out that it has been years since the tax cuts were passed. The majority of Ways and Means Committee members were not even in Congress when the tax cuts were negotiated the first time around. For more than a dozen members of the committee, this is the first time they have attempted to write a major tax bill. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You also have the reality that there&rsquo;s very few in the room that were around last time we did this,&rdquo; Schweikert told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), chairman of the Subcommittee on Tax, said plans for meetings such as this harken back to 2017 when former Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) was in charge of the Ways and Means Committee, and there would be many meetings just going over the details of the tax legislation.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the meeting, Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY) said he just wants to ensure that the tax discussions include a &ldquo;much higher&rdquo; cap on state and local tax deductions (the current cap is $10,000) and ensure no deep cuts to Medicaid, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I want to see anything that comes out of the House and Senate to conform to those and other priorities,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, the planned Ways and Means meetings come as the Senate considers how much it wants to change the budget resolution and reconciliation &mdash; changes that could shape how Republican tax priorities are included in reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p>In order to begin crafting the actual reconciliation legislation, both chambers need to agree on a budget resolution framework.<\/p>\n<p>As passed by the House, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fiscal-hawks-house-budget-plan-could-add-25-trillion-in-debt-over-next-decade-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Fiscal hawks: ... ... plan could add  trillion in debt over next decade - Washington Examiner\">budget resolution includes<\/a> a $1.5 trillion floor for spending cuts, with a target of $2 trillion in spending cuts, and would allocate $4.5 trillion in net tax cuts for the Ways and Means Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the House passed its budget, the Senate will have a turn to rework the House resolution.

The Ways and Means Committee will have to attempt to include the White House&rsquo;s tax priorities without breaching the deficit cap.<\/p>\n<p>The extra priorities the White House has outlined include eliminating taxes on tips, ending taxes on Social Security, eliminating taxes on overtime pay, adjusting the cap on state and local tax deductions, and introducing tax cuts for made-in-America products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1994522\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1994522\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House GOP tax writers to meet next week on major bill<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3360,"featured_media":2410841,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tax-plan-republicans.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32455,4762,4470,51706,32076],"class_list":["post-2410840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-house-gop","tag-legislation","tag-meeting","tag-tax-writers","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/tax-plan-republicans.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2410840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3360"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2410840"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2410840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2410844,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2410840\/revisions\/2410844"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2410841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2410840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2410840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2410840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
