senate 04/03/2025 - 119th Congress
We're introducing the "Tax Fairness for Workers Act" to amend the Internal Revenue Code, aiming to provide workers with greater tax relief by allowing an above-the-line deduction for union dues and expenses, alongside a miscellaneous itemized deduction for unreimbursed employee expenses. This legislation seeks to ease the financial burden on workers by recognizing and compensating for the costs associated with their employment.
