Evidence
Public Law 119-21 amends section 199A and applies the amendments to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025; the law also revises section 199A to expand and lock in the qualified business income deduction structure for small businesses.
Husted’s Tax Day newsletter says the Working Families Tax Cuts Act includes "A permanent 20% tax deduction for small businesses" and states that he was proud to vote for the legislation.
Assessments
The promised outcome was to support making the 20% small business tax deduction permanent. Public Law 119-21, enacted July 4, 2025, made the qualified business income deduction permanent for taxable years after December 31, 2025. Husted was serving in federal office during enactment and publicly tied the result to his vote for the legislation, so the promise counts as delivered in the same term.
