13 The Charitable Deduction Congressional leaders say all tax expenditures will be examined during tax reform Changes to the charitable deduction could be a potential cost offset for any spending proposal or tax proposal 13
14 Proposals to Change the Charitable Deduction Obama Administration 28% cap on deductions for individuals earning over $200,000 per year; families earning over $250,000 Estimated to reduce charitable giving by as much as $7 billion per year Bowles-Simpson (National Deficit Reduction Commission) Replace with a 12% tax credit for taxpayers who donate at least 2% of AGI to charity Rivlin Domenici Debt Reduction Task Force 15% tax credit to nonprofit organizations Demos, Economic Policy Institute, and Century Foundation Replace with 25% tax credit for all taxpayers 14

20 Prospects for Major Tax Reform Lawmakers remain committed to tax reform House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) expressed desire to enact a "fast-track" procedure that would compel Congress to act on comprehensive tax reform in Goals for tax reform vary Republicans argue for a simplified tax code, with scaled-back tax breaks and lower rates for individuals and corporations Democrats focus on increasing revenues, restoring fairness or equity, and high-income earners 20
