Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024
When politicians draft tax reform bills I usually try not to pay attention until they become law, since so few actually do. This tax reform bill is a little different.

And since some of the tax changes would be retroactive to 2023, I figured it warranted some coverage. You might want not want to file your tax return quite yet if any of these changes apply to you.
