How will tax policy evolve in the new administration and new Congress? President-elect Trump proposed a wide variety of tax changes in the presidential campaign including extending and reversing various provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; imposing substantial tariffs; reducing taxes on income from tips, overtime, and social security benefits; adjusting the U.S. taxation of foreign residents; and even floating the idea of eliminating the income tax entirely. To what extent will Congress endorse these and other changes? To what extent can the president enact changes through executive orders?

On Tuesday, November 19, the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center convened two panels of experts on the economics and politics of tax changes to examine Trump’s proposals and explore the questions above.
