Join the Debate over Tax Reform
With another April 15 upon us, and with debates over deficits and government spending heating up, policymakers in Washington are more serious than ever about reforming the U.S. tax code. It's been a quarter of a century since Congress last tried to make taxes simpler and fairer. Since then, instead, the tax code has only grown larger and more complex.
Tax reform is a debate that affects every American, and architects and their firms have a lot to gain (or lose) in the process. Will business tax rates be reduced? Will tax incentives like the mortgage interest deduction be eliminated? What will happen to S corporations? It's a debate you cannot afford to sit out.
That is why the AIA is launching an online conversation about tax reform, so that members like you can make your voice heard. Tell us what you think about the tax structure, what you want fixed and what you want lawmakers to protect. As the debate heats up, the AIA will provide additional resources about what the key players are saying, and how their plans may affect architects, their firms and their clients.
What do you think?
