WASHINGTON – Sen. Chuck Grassley has a new online tax survey for Iowans to share their views on changes they would like to see in the federal tax code.  Grassley launched the survey from his position as a co-chair of a bipartisan working group on individual tax reform.

“The tax code is too complicated,” Grassley said.  “Anyone filing taxes realizes that right away.  Congress is working toward comprehensive tax reform to simplify taxes.   I’m looking for input from Iowans on what needs to change in the federal tax code.  My survey asks Iowans to rank priorities and share views on individual tax breaks that are important to their households. Accomplishing tax reform will take all of us working together, from individual taxpayers to Congress to the White House.”

Grassley’s survey for Iowans is available at www.grassley.senate.gov on the Tax Survey tab.  The survey will run through the tax filing deadline, April 15, 2015.  Grassley will compile the results for use in the recommendations the individual tax reform working group on the tax-writing Finance Committee presents to the full committee in May.

Grassley was named a co-chair of the bipartisan individual tax reform working group by the Finance Committee chairman and ranking member last month.  More information on the working group is available here.  More information on Grassley’s views on tax code complexity is available here

Grassley is a senior member and former chairman and ranking member of the Finance Committee.
