Tax Foundation University

After $6 trillion in congressional coronavirus assistance, the tax code underwent serious changes ranging from an expansion of the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit to net operating losses changes helping struggling businesses. While many of these changes are temporary, some policymakers are considering making them permanent or using them as a starting point for future economic relief legislation. Additionally, the bill for this spending will eventually come due and policymakers must balance revenue needs with the impact of increased taxes on the economic recovery.

In weekly online sessions, Tax Foundation University will walk through the individual and business tax code exploring how those taxes impact economic growth, wages, employment, and the distribution of the tax burden. We will also cover current issues that Congress could consider including many of the COVID-19 relief provisions, energy tax policy, and onshoring and supply chain incentives.

Over the five-part series beginning on April 9^th, we hope to engage in open discussions that help you learn how to think like an economist. Below find our program and click on each for expanded details. Sign up using this registration link.
