Letter to Congress Urging Action on Tax Extenders in the Lame Duck Session:

The undersigned organizations, representing millions of individuals, businesses of all sizes, community development organizations and non-profit organizations, urge Congress to act in the Lame Duck session to extend seamlessly, enhance or make permanent the expired and expiring tax provisions. These tax provisions are critically important to U.S. jobs and the broader economy.

Failure to extend these provisions is a tax increase. It will inject instability and uncertainty into the economy and weaken confidence in the employment marketplace. Acting promptly on this matter in Lame Duck will provide important predictability necessary for economic growth.

The expired provisions should be renewed as soon as possible this year to enable implementation in time for the normal tax filing season. A delay in the tax filing season will delay tax refund checks and spending decisions, resulting in an immediate negative impact on the economy.

We urge all members of Congress to work together to extend seamlessly, enhance, or make permanent these important tax provisions this year to provide a necessary bridge to comprehensive tax reform.

Sincerely,
