Tax Policy in 2016: What's New and What's Next

Taxes have returned to their traditional place of prominence in policy circles, with leading presidential candidates proposing both sweeping reforms and incremental changes. What role will tax policy play in the coming election? Can Congress act on important tax initiatives this year? Are we setting the stage for major reform in 2017? What are the implications for the economy and the American people?
To address these issues, the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center will host House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, and convene panels of leading economists and journalists.
After each session, speakers will take questions from the audience.
