The document discusses estimates of the US tax gap, which is the difference between taxes owed and taxes paid. Some key points:
- The annual tax gap is estimated at around $550 billion for tax year 2019, or about 2.6% of GDP.
- Most of the tax gap comes from underreporting of income, particularly from business income which has little mandatory information reporting.
- Increasing IRS funding for enforcement and expanding information reporting could significantly reduce the tax gap. The Biden plan is estimated to generate over $700 billion in reduced tax gap over 10 years.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget gave an overview of the latest COVID relief deal and how much it will boost incomes and economic growth, and discussed the proposal for $2,000 checks.
CRFB - Build Back Better for Less - Oct. 15 2021CRFBGraphics
This presentation from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget illustrates how Congress could potentially reduce the size of the upcoming reconciliation package in a way that still accomplishes major legislative objectives.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget published the only existing comprehensive study to detail and compare the fiscal cost of President Donald Trump and Vice President Joe Biden's campaign agendas. We estimate that both candidates would add trillions to the debt – but in very different ways.

CRFB Webinar - The COVID-19 Economic Crisis, the Federal Response, and Our Ri...CRFBGraphics
This brief presentation contains a number of charts and other visualizations that help make sense of our nation’s fiscal state prior to the onset of the pandemic, the nature and scale of the current economic crisis, how the Federal Government has responded thus far, and the future implications of that response for the federal budget, deficit and debt.
The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour for most workers. CBO has examined how increasing the federal minimum wage to $10, $12, or $15 per hour by 2025 would affect employment and family income. Increasing the minimum wage would have two principal effects on low-wage workers. For most of them, earnings and family income would increase, which would lift some families out of poverty. But other low-wage workers would become jobless, and their family income would fall—in some cases, below the poverty threshold.
Sen. Don Harmon and Rep. Camille Lilly held a town hall meeting in Oak Park to share information and answer questions on the Senate’s budget plan and the status of budget negotiations in Springfield.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released two new outlooks in september that highlight our nation's unsustainable budget trajectory over the next decade and beyond. From the federal debt reaching almost double the size of the economy by 2050, to deficits higher than in any point in modern history, CBO's report shows that our nation's fiscal outlook is much worse than estimated last year.

High Net Worth Webinar Series: SALT Thoughts - Pass-Through Entity Taxes & Re...Citrin Cooperman
During this webinar, we discussed how to potentially mitigate the impact of the state and local tax (SALT) cap at the federal level. New York State has joined the list of states that have enacted an elective pass-through entity tax in an effort to do just that. We also dove into the possibility of changing residency to a low-tax or no-tax state. With state tax rates on the rise in some places and the realization that remote work is doable, many individuals are contemplating making a move. To succeed in making a change like this, one must be aware of the technical rules and be willing to significantly adjust one’s life. We talked through all these considerations.

CBO regularly produces reports on the distribution of household income and federal taxes. This presentation highlights two methodological improvements for these analyses:

The information is preliminary and is being circulated to stimulate discussion and critical comment.

• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

▪ Fund and empower the IRS to make better use of data analytics,
improve taxpayer services, and prevent and correct errors.
▪ Enhance information reporting, withholding, and electronic filing.
▪ Increase penalties, incentives, and education to improve timely
and accurate tax compliance.
▪ Demand accountability from tax preparers and accountants.
▪ Coordinate with other countries on tax and income reporting.
▪ Establish new rules and procedures for gig work, crypto-currency,
and other areas with high underreported income.
▪ Close loopholes that undermine compliance.
