The Tax Fairness for Workers Act would provide tax relief to workers by allowing them to deduct certain job-related expenses from their income. Specifically, the bill allows workers to deduct union dues and expenses "above-the-line," meaning they can claim these deductions without itemizing their taxes, making it easier and more valuable for union members. The bill also restores the ability for all workers to deduct other unreimbursed work expenses—such as required uniforms, professional development, or equipment—as miscellaneous itemized deductions. These provisions would apply to tax returns filed for years beginning after December 31, 2024. The legislation was introduced by Representative Boyle and a large bipartisan group of lawmakers and has been referred to the House Ways and Means Committee.
