Tax Reform Working Groups

House Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) announced the formation of 11 separate Ways and Means Tax Reform Working Groups.

Each working group was led by one Republican and one Democratic Member. Together, the 11 groups have reviewed current law in its designated issue area and identified, researched and compiled feedback related to the topic of the working group. The Joint Committee on Taxation has prepared a report for the Full Committee that describes current law in each issue area and summarizes information gathered by the working groups. The full report is available here.

Stakeholders, advocacy groups and the public have shared comments, information, facts, and data relevant to the Committee's review of current federal income.
