Submit a Proposal

Our sample proposal and submission form function as a guide for information you might submit with your proposal, but no fields on this form are required. We also encourage submissions that only partially provide this information, or merely point to areas of the tax code that currently operate as loopholes or are otherwise in need of reform, without endorsing a particular solution.

Proposals should adhere to the following principles given the nonpartisan nature of the effort we are undertaking, and its focus on base-broadening, loophole closing, and tax simplification:

• Generally, proposals should not be focused on changes in tax rates for individuals, corporations, estate and gifts, and capital gains.
• However, proposals can suggest the modification or even elimination of deductions and credits, as well as changes in exemptions, classifications, timing (including realizations), and the thresholds that govern the respective tax bases.
• There is no requirement that proposals be tailored such that they will not raise taxes on households making under $400,000.

For a sample proposal, see here.

Not all submissions will necessarily be published by the Tax Reform Project. Submitters who wish to remain anonymous may indicate so below.
