Age and Generational Impact

Millennials and Gen Z workers with incomes under $100,000 are net beneficiaries on balance, primarily through the expanded child tax credit, student loan interest deduction restoration, and ISA workforce accounts.

Core Takeaway

The single most affected group, on a per-household basis, is upper-middle-income families earning between $250,000 and $500,000. This cohort loses the most deductions and faces new capital gains treatment.
