AI Summary

This bill, the Transparency for Taxpayers Act, requires the Department of the Treasury to make publicly available by April 1, 2018, an online tool that allows individual taxpayers (not corporations) to calculate an approximate change in their income tax liability resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (P.L. 115-97). The tool will take into account factors such as the taxpayer's filing status, income, number of dependents, and certain deductions, and provide a simplified estimate of the taxpayer's 2017 income tax liability as if the 2018 changes had applied. The bill also requires the Secretary of the Treasury to publicize the availability of this online tool.
