Key tax proposals expected to be included in presidential address
President Joe Biden is set to deliver the State of the Union address today, his final before the 2024 U.S. presidential elections. During the address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress, Biden is expected to lay out what he views as his administration's accomplishments over the last three years and share his vision for his priorities for the balance of his first term, including important tax changes that could impact millions of individuals and corporations. Wolters Kluwer invites reporters to speak to its tax experts for their insights.
As background, last year Biden outlined three tax policy proposals which included raising the tax on stock buybacks, imposing a billionaire minimum tax, and expanding the child tax credit, none of which was enacted into law in 2023.
In his upcoming address to the nation, it is believed that Biden likely will comment on the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024, which the U.S. House of Representatives passed on a bi-partisan basis by a 357 - 70 vote on January 31, 2024. Wolters Kluwer experts anticipate that the president will express his support of the bill’s tax provisions and encourage the U.S. Senate to move the bill forward.
