The "Tax Filer Voter Registration Act" proposes to amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, designating certain tax return preparers as voter registration agencies. This expansion applies to preparers who handle at least 100 individual tax returns annually, as well as certified volunteer tax preparers funded by the Treasury Department. The primary goal is to increase access to voter registration by integrating it into the tax preparation process. To comply, in-person tax preparers must visibly display mail voter registration forms in their offices, while online preparers must provide a prominent hyperlink to voter registration resources. Importantly, these preparers are not required to collect or transmit completed forms, focusing solely on distribution. Additionally, the Secretary of the Treasury would provide guidance to volunteer preparers, revise intake forms to include a voter registration question, and mandate the display of forms at volunteer tax sites.
