Bill Summary

To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow workers an above-the-line deduction for union dues and expenses and to allow a miscellaneous itemized deduction for workers for all unreimbursed expenses incurred in the trade or business of being an employee. This bill allows an above-the-line tax deduction for union dues and expenses. (An above-the-line deduction is subtracted from gross income and is available whether or not a taxpayer itemizes other deductions.) The bill also reinstates the miscellaneous itemized tax deduction for unreimbursed expenses attributable to the performance of services as an employee. (Under current law, all miscellaneous itemized deductions are suspended through 2025.)

AI Summary

This bill, the Tax Fairness for Workers Act, allows for an above-the-line tax deduction for union dues and expenses, meaning the deduction can be taken regardless of whether the taxpayer itemizes other deductions. The bill also reinstates the miscellaneous itemized tax deduction for unreimbursed expenses related to an individual's employment, which had been suspended through 2025 under current law. These changes would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2018.
