Moore the merrier
- Tax Foundation (https://taxfoundation.org/blog): Another favorite opening: “The U.S. federal Income Tax Code has a problem with timing: Sometimes it assesses taxes too early, in a way that creates a measurable bias against saving or investment.” When the Supreme Court hears Moore v.

Cheesy

- Procedurally Taxing (https://www.taxnotes.com/procedurally-taxing): The IRS MeF business rules rejecting a second e-filed return to claim a qualifying child or dependent (DUPTIN return) harm many low-income taxpayers; the remedy of filing a subsequent paper return isn’t well known and is administratively burdensome. This series of blogs continues to examine the problem.
- Tax Vox (https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxvox): Why is the budget deficit enormous and growing? When one political party proposes new tax cuts or new spending, the other party offers its own deal in return: “We’ll accept your tax cuts and new spending but only if you agree to ours.” And neither side tries to offset the costs with new revenues or spending cuts. Two classic examples of this are offered as Congress tries to wrap up its “work” for this year.
