The U.S. Senate on August 7, 2022, passed budget reconciliation legislation (H.R. 5376) that includes significant tax law changes.  All 50 Senate Democrats voted for the legislation, while all 50 Senate Republicans voted against it.  Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of the legislation.  

KPMG LLP has prepared a report that provides preliminary analysis and observations regarding the Senate bill based on the legislative text for the final bill that was released the morning of August 9, 2022, and on the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) revenue estimates released later that same day.  More documents relevant to the bill might be released in the future.
