Whereas the dissemination of printed copies of Internal Rev-
enue Service Publication 17 is a basic taxpayer service 
that the Internal Revenue Service is ignoring; 
Whereas the Internal Revenue Service should prioritize its re-
sources on areas that are critical to the ability of tax-
payers to file their tax returns in a timely and proper 
manner; 
Whereas the decision of the Internal Revenue Service to stop 
disseminating printed copies of Internal Revenue Service 
Publication 17 adversely impacts populations that do not 
have access to, or understand how to use, a computer, 
and the decision unnecessarily burdens and restricts the 
ability of taxpayers to comply with the convoluted and 
complicated provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 
1986; and 
Whereas Internal Revenue Service Publication 17 is clear evi-
dence of the need for comprehensive tax reform that sim-
plifies the Internal Revenue Code so that individuals can 
complete their tax returns and pay their taxes without 
needing the nearly 300 pages of instructions that cur-
rently make up Publication 17: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives urges the 
Internal Revenue Service to— 
(1) resume printing copies of Internal Revenue 
Service Publication 17; and

(2) provide free copies of such publication to the 
taxpayers of the United States.

providing immediate and substantial humanitarian assist-
ance to the Iraqi people, by providing democracy transition
assistance to Iraqi parties and movements with democratic
goals, and by convening Iraq’s foreign creditors to develop
