April means Tax Day, a yearly reminder that most people don’t like our tax code. As a recent Tax Foundation poll found, people don’t understand it either. With a looming tax battle on Capitol Hill, the need for tax policy education has never been higher. We shouldn’t let tax education end with Tax Day.
The public is wrapping up taxes this week, but according to the latest poll, over 61% of people do not know or are not sure of basic concepts related to income tax filing, and over half do not know how tax brackets work. (They shouldn’t feel bad. Albert Einstein thought the income tax was the hardest thing in the world to understand.)
