Tax Fairness for Workers Act

This legislation proposes significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code, primarily aimed at providing tax relief for employees. It introduces an above-the-line deduction for union dues and related expenses, meaning these costs can be subtracted from gross income before calculating adjusted gross income. Furthermore, the bill reinstates a miscellaneous itemized deduction for all unreimbursed expenses incurred by individuals in their trade or business as an employee. This provision effectively reverses the current suspension of such deductions, allowing workers to claim a wider range of job-related costs. These amendments are slated to apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024, enhancing tax fairness for the workforce.
