"House GOP Infighting Imperils Bipartisan Tax Package Vote"

House Speaker Mike Johnson's plans to pass a bipartisan tax deal through the House this week are in jeopardy as House Republicans express last-minute concerns, including demands for state and local tax relief, opposition to expanding the Child Tax Credit, and frustration over relying on Democratic votes. The infighting complicates the path to a floor vote, with some members threatening to oppose unrelated rules for other legislation if their concerns are not addressed. The delay in passing the tax package could complicate the IRS's handling of tax returns for the 2024 filing season.
