To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Congress: Pass Sen. Warren's Tax Simplification Act
The government should make it as easy as possible for people to pay their taxes. Pass the Tax Filing Simplification Act, introduced by Senator Elizabeth Warren, to make it cheaper and less stressful for all Americans to pay their taxes.
Why is this important?
Every year, the average American spends over a dozen hours and hundreds of dollars simply to pay their fair share in taxes. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Back in 1998, a Republican-controlled Congress passed a law meant to make it easier for all Americans to file their taxes. But, thanks to lobbying from tax preparation giants like Turbo Tax, the IRS hasn't actually implemented the changes mandated by the law. The "Free File" program the IRS created, which is supposed to give 70 percent of taxpayers access to free tax preparation, is used by only 3 percent of eligible taxpayers.
Our taxes cover critical services like infrastructure, health care, and education, and it should be as easy to pay them as possible! Stand with Senator Warren and demand that Congress pass the Tax Filing Simplification Act.
