His plan would reduce the urrent seven tax brackets to three: 12%, 25% and 35%.
Gleckman added that it was theoretically possible that a larger child tax credit would offset the loss of the exemptions but that it would depend on the size of the family and a range of other itemized deductions that would likely be eliminated.
Mr. Trump says his tax plan will "bring back the jobs and the wealth that have left our country".
"Too many in our country are shut out of the dynamism of the USA economy, which has led to the justifiable feeling that the system is rigged against hardworking Americans", says the document obtained by the AP. The current code forces individuals, families, and small businesses to navigate a web of schedules, deductions, and penalties.
The plan also repeals the estate tax, sometimes referred to as the inheritance or death tax, a tax levied on property transferred from a deceased person to his or her heirs. Without further specifics, the head of the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget calls Trump's tax plan "nothing more than a fiscal fantasy".
Republican members of Congress echoed Trump's declaration that the plan would boost the economy, and wages with it.
"It's been more than three decades since we've reformed our tax code".
As for individuals, Trump wants to pare down the current seven tax brackets, which now are in tiers ranging from 10 percent to 39.6 percent.
While Trump has famously refused to release his tax returns, we know from a leaked 2005 return that $31 million of his $38 million tax bill that year was because of the AMT.
"We're doing everything we can to reduce the tax burden on you and your family", Trump said.
The plan, developed over months of talks between Trump's aides and top Republicans in Congress and welcomed by big companies, has little details on how to implement those cuts without increasing deficits.
The tax plan being rolled out by the Trump administration and leaders including House Speaker Paul Ryan, right, proposes repealing the state and local tax deduction. If you lower the upper tax rate from 39% down to 35%, that's four percentage points. Trump said, "it's time for Washington to learn from the wisdom of IN".
A White House official said workers would "see a benefit in pensions plans" as equity portfolios got a lift and confirmed helping middle income Americans is "exactly what [they're] trying to achieve".
A territorial system taxes companies only on the profits they earn within the country in which they are based.
