Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) has urged all members of Congress to support a bill aimed at simplifying tax filing for American seniors.
The president of the taxpayer advocacy group, Grover Norquist, wrote to Congressman Bill Posey (R - FL), who is introducing the Seniors' Tax Simplification Act. The bill would create a new tax form, 1040SR, aimed at senior citizens with relatively simple tax affairs. It would include the most common types of income reported by seniors on it, such as interest, dividends, capital gains, Social Security benefits, and pension payments.
Norquist noted that a similar form already exists: form 1040EZ. However, this covers some forms of income not relevant for those who have retired.
He suggested that introducing form 1040SR could benefit some 23 million taxpayers.
Norquist said "All members of Congress should have no hesitation supporting and co-sponsoring this helpful legislation."
