As any taxpayer knows, the tax code is excessively complex. Millions of Americans spend hours struggling over tax forms.
Taxpayers exhaust their patience and their resources simply trying to comply with the law.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Committee on Finance, wants to put an end to this. He believes Congress must make the tax code more simple and more fair for taxpayers at all income levels. Grassley will convene a hearing of the Committee on Finance to jump start the debate on tax simplification. The hearing will feature the release of a much-anticipated, congressionally mandated study on simplification from the Joint Committee on Taxation. Grassley hopes the study will be the catalyst for a fresh look at simplification.
