TEXT OF LETTER SENT TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
Dear Member of Congress:
The undersigned organizations urge Congress to extend as soon as possible the tax provisions set to expire in 2011. These tax provisions, which benefit a wide range of taxpayers, including associations, businesses, individuals, community development organizations, and non-profit organizations, are important to U.S. jobs and the broader economy. The lack of timely congressional action to extend these provisions would inject more instability and uncertainty into the economy and further weaken confidence in the employment marketplace.
Moreover, the extension of the expiring provisions should not be delayed until policymakers complete work on comprehensive tax reform. Even though Congress has begun to consider tax reform proposals, a wide-ranging group of taxpayers is making decisions right now related to current law which will have an immediate impact on the economy. While we are hopeful that the tax reform debate results in policy that is fair, efficient, and encourages economic growth, it is critical that the current tax system provide certainty in the interim. Additional uncertainty is not a recipe for improving confidence in this economy.
We urge you to pass these important tax provisions before they expire this year.
Sincerely, Broad Tax Extenders Group letter to Congress
