House Creates Email Address for Tax Reform

The House Ways & Means Committee yesterday announced a new email address, tax.reform@mail.house.gov as another way for stakeholders, advocacy groups and the public to share information, facts and data relevant to the Committee's review of current federal income tax law within the Committee’s 11 Tax Reform Working Groups:

The working groups, announced earlier this month by Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) and Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI), will review current law in their designated issue areas and then identify, research and compile feedback related to the topic of the working group.  The working groups will be responsible for compiling feedback on their designated topic from: (1) stakeholders, (2) academics and think tanks, (3) practitioners, (4) the general public and (5) colleagues in the House of Representatives.  Once the work of those groups has been completed, the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) will prepare a report for the full Committee that describes current law in each issue area and only summarizes these submissions and  other information gathered by the Committee Members.

Those interested in sharing information, facts, and data can email their comments to the Committee.  To ensure that comments are widely available and accessible, comments that are received will be posted on the Ways and Means website.

Public comments will be accepted through Monday, April 15, 2013.  Those comments will be included in the final JCT report, which will be delivered to the Ways and Means Committee on Monday, May 6, 2013.
