How Senate Republicans want to change the tax breaks in Trump's big bill

WASHINGTON — House and Senate Republicans are taking slightly different approaches when it comes to the tax cuts that lawmakers are looking to include in their massive tax and spending cuts bill. Republicans in the two chambers don't agree on the size of a deduction for state and local taxes. And they are at odds on such things as allowing people to use their health savings accounts to help pay for their gym membership, or whether electric vehicle and hybrid owners should have to pay an annual fee. The House passed its version shortly before Memorial Day. Now the Senate is looking to pass its version. While the two bills are similar on the major tax provisions, how they work out their differences in the coming weeks will determine how quickly they can get a final product over the finish line. President Donald Trump is pushing to have the legislation on his desk by July 4th. Here's a look at some of the key differences between the two bills: The child tax credit currently stands at $2,000 per child. The House bill temporarily boosts the child tax credit to $2,500 for the 2025 through 2028 tax years, roughly the length of President Donald Trump's second term. It also indexes the credit amount for inflation beginning in 2027. The Senate bill provides a smaller, initial bump-up to $2,200, but the bump is permanent, with the credit amount indexed for inflation beginning next year. Trump promised on the campaign trail that he would seek to end income taxes on tips, overtime and Social Security benefits. Also, he would give car buyers a new tax break by allowing them to deduct the interest paid on auto loans. The House and Senate bills incorporate those promises with temporary deductions lasting from the 2025 through 2028 tax years, but with some differences. The House bill creates a deduction on tips for those working in jobs that have customarily received tips. The House also provides for a deduction for overtime that's equal to the amount of OT a worker has earned. The Senate bill comes with more restrictions. The deduction for tips is limited to $25,000 per taxpayer and the deduction for overtime is limited to $12,500 per taxpayer. The House and Senate bills both provide a deduction of up to $10,000 for interest paid on loans for vehicles made in the United States. And on Social Security, the bills don't directly touch the program. Instead, they grant a larger tax deduction for Americans age 65 and older. The House sets the deduction at $4,000. The Senate sets it at $6,000. Both chambers include income limits over which the new deductions begin to phase out. The caps on state and local tax deductions, known in Washington as the SALT cap, now stand at $10,000. The House bill, in a bid to win over Republicans from New York, California and New Jersey, lifts the cap to $40,000 per household with incomes of less than $500,000. The credit phases down for households earning more than $500,000. The Senate bill keeps the cap at $10,000. That's a non-starter in the House, but Republicans in the two chambers will look to negotiate a final number over the coming weeks that both sides can accept. The House bill prohibits states from establishing new provider taxes or increasing existing taxes. These are taxes that Medicaid providers, such as hospitals, pay to help states finance their share of Medicaid costs. In turn, the taxes allow states to receive increased federal matching funds while generally holding providers harmless through higher reimbursements that offset the taxes paid. Such taxes now are effectively capped at 6%. The Senate looks to gradually lower that threshold for states that have expanded their Medicaid populations under the Affordable Care Act, or 'Obamacare,' until it reaches 3.5% in 2031, with exceptions for nursing homes and intermediate care facilities. Industry groups have warned that limiting the ability of states to tax providers may lead to some states making significant cuts to their Medicaid programs as they make up for the lost revenue in other ways. The Medicaid provision could be a flashpoint in the coming House and Senate negotiations. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., was highly critical of the proposed Senate changes. 'This needs a lot of work. It's really concerning and I'm really surprised by it,' he said. 'Rural hospitals are going to be in bad shape.' The House bill would allow companies for five years to fully deduct equipment purchases and domestic research and development expenses. The Senate bill includes no sunset, making the tax breaks permanent, which was a key priority of powerful trade groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Republicans in both chambers are looking to scale back the clean energy tax credits enacted through then-President Joe Biden's climate law. It aimed to boost the nation's transition away from planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions toward renewable energy such as wind and solar power. Under the Senate bill, the tax credits for clean energy and home energy efficiency would still be phased out, but less quickly than under the House bill. Still, advocacy groups fear that the final measure will threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive up household energy costs. The House bill would allow millions of Americans to use their health savings accounts to pay for gym memberships, with a cap of $500 for single taxpayers and $1,000 for joint filers. The Senate bill doesn't include such a provision. The House reinstates a charitable deduction for non-itemizers of $150 per taxpayer. The Senate bill increases that deduction for donations to $1,000 per taxpayer. Republicans in the House bill included a new annual fee of $250 for EV owners and $100 for hybrid owners that would be collected by state motor vehicle departments. The Senate bill excludes the proposed fees.

1 AI Super Stock Is Starting to Rebound, but Shares Still Look Cheap

Datadog stock remains more than 35% below the all-time high it reached four years ago. Many organizations are rapidly adopting AI-powered tools, which presents an opportunity for Datadog. The shares are trading near their cheapest price-to-sales ratio ever. 10 stocks we like better than Datadog › The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is generating plenty of wealth on Wall Street -- and the winners won't be limited to just semiconductor stocks like Nvidia. Tech stocks across several subsectors will benefit, too. Let's take a look at one such stock, Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG). Between 2019 and 2021, Datadog was one of the hottest names in the stock market. Shares advanced by more than 400% in only three years. However, as the stock market soured on tech stocks and speculative companies in 2022, Datadog shares plummeted. All told, the shares cratered by 68%, erasing the majority of their earlier gains. As of this writing, Datadog stock remains more than 35% off of the all-time high it touched in late 2021. Yet sentiment regarding the stock appears to have shifted. Datadog, which provides cloud monitoring services for enterprises, now boasts strong ratings from the analyst community. According to data compiled by Yahoo! Finance, there are 46 analysts covering Datadog. Of those, 10 rate it as a strong buy, 28 rate it a buy, and eight call it a hold. None of them rate it a sell or strong sell. Moreover, the average 12-month price target for Datadog shares is nearly $139. That's about 9% higher than the stock trades as of this writing. Datadog's business model is to sell monitoring services to organizations with significant cloud assets. This type of monitoring is critical to enterprises today, as operational downtime can result in serious consequences, including lost revenue, customer dissatisfaction, and even legal action. It already serves tens of thousands of clients across a range of industries, including e-commerce, gaming, and finance. While the type of monitoring that Datadog offers isn't new, what it is monitoring is changing. New large language models (LLMs) powered by AI algorithms have become much more important to organizations. Use of these models is rapidly spreading into the day-to-day operations of countless organizations. As this happens, their performance must be monitored, too. That has created a new source of revenue for Datadog, which is helping boost its growth. Consider the company's first-quarter results. Datadog noted that about 8.5% of its total revenue came from AI-native customers. That was up from 3.5% one year earlier -- showing meaningful growth for this new source of revenue. Management also raised its revenue guidance for the year by about $40 million, or 1%, on the back of this fast-growing new source of sales. Ultimately, these figures aren't game changers for Datadog, but they demonstrate that the AI revolution is benefiting the company. If it can continue to deliver on its higher guidance -- or even surpass it -- the stock should respond positively. In part, that's because Datadog's valuation remains near multiyear lows. Though Datadog's stock price has recovered significantly from its 2022 low point, its valuation -- as measured by its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio -- remains near the bottom of its range. As of this writing, Datadog shares trade at a P/S ratio of around 16. That's well below the peak levels above 60 that it reached in 2020 and 2021. It's also far below the stock's average of 28. Granted, a P/S ratio of 16 is still high compared to many stocks -- even within the tech sector. However, for long-term investors who want to establish a position in Datadog shares, it should be comforting that it doesn't appear to be overvalued. The stock appears to be rebounding after a steep decline. The AI revolution is playing a role in that comeback, and the analyst community is moderately bullish on the company's prospects. Finally, its current valuation is well below its long-term average. Overall, that suggests that this could be a good time for long-term investors to buy.
