Tax and Budget Policy

We work toward advancing progressive tax reforms that support broad-based economic growth, raise revenue, and require the wealthy to pay their fair share. Areas of focus include improving the taxation of income from wealth, reforming corporate taxation, and improving the design of tax expenditures.

We believe that public investment is a precondition to robust and inclusive growth. We advocate for U.S. budget policies that adequately invest in families and public goods such as climate, education, R&D, health care, and economic security—and for budget processes that facilitate sound fiscal policy.

We work to expand vital tax credits, such as the child tax credit and earned income tax credit, that combat poverty; help families meet basic needs; improve the health, well-being, and future prospects of children; and reduce racial disparities.

We seek to improve tax administration and enforcement and reverse years of Internal Revenue Service funding cuts. We are focused on ensuring that the IRS can hold wealthy and corporate tax dodgers accountable and provide quality service, including free tax filing, to ordinary, honest taxpayers.
