New analysis of the tax provisions in the House reconciliation package: The richest 1% of Americans would receive a total of $138 billion in net tax cuts in 2026, significantly more than the $92 billion that would go the bottom 60% of Americans.

Today I am out with a new piece I co-authored with @WhitenJon on the racial implications of the upcoming tax reform debate. In the coming 14 months, federal lawmakers should address longstanding issues of racism in the tax code. #TaxTwitter #EconTwitter https://t.co/KJPTZ9QkfA

In 2022, undocumented immigrants contributed $96.7 billion in federal, state, & local taxes.

Our new report is a reminder that immigration policy choices in the years ahead will have significant consequences for public revenues & communities nationwide.

Direct File can make tax filing less expensive, faster, & easier for millions of Americans. By breaking down barriers to filing, it can also help more families get tax credits they’re eligible for, like the EITC & CTC. Such great news that it's here to stay!

ECSTATIC to post this job on our team. Raise money to tax corporations and the wealthy! What could be more fun? https://t.co/rTswqhIXmb

[ITEP @iteptweets]

Too many states take a greater share of income from low- & middle-income families than from the wealthy.

But it doesn't have to be this way.

On #TaxDay, we're showing how tax systems widen inequality across the country and looking at better ways forward.

With #TaxDay just around the corner, the latest episode of Policy for the People looks at how the kicker worsens economic inequality, as well as why it's essential to have a well-funded IRS. Check it out! https://t.co/rofDY6LjA0 @iteptweets

"In budget fights we are fighting for a slice of this tiny pie. It ends up pitting advocates for one worthy cause against another and it's a zero sum kind of mentality. We need a mindset shift. We need to grow this pie."

[Jon Whiten @WhitenJon]

We need a robust and well-funded IRS to properly enforce our tax laws and provide taxpayers with better service. Unfortunately we are taking steps back from recent progress with new funding cuts.

NEWS: The latest Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll finds that taxing the rich is a wildly popular idea among swing state voters.

That includes the merely affluent -- those making $400,000 and up -- as well as billionaires.
