AI Summary

This bill requires the Secretary for Administration and Finance to provide an annual report to Massachusetts resident taxpayers by March 15th. The report will include the total amount of federal income tax paid by Massachusetts residents in the prior year, as well as the percentage of those funds allocated in the prior year's federal discretionary budget to various spending categories like housing, education, healthcare, and defense. The report will also estimate any changes in federal funds being returned to Massachusetts in those categories compared to the prior year. The report must be presented in an easy-to-read format using pie charts or bar graphs, and it will remind taxpayers that Medicare and Social Security are financed through separate trust funds, not income taxes. The Secretary may work with a third-party organization to produce the report.
