Reframing the statutory purpose toward systemic regulatory reform; Designing multiple sector-specific AI sandboxes instead of a centralized, one-size-fits-all model; Limiting the scope and duration of waivers to reduce risks of regulatory privilege;

Americans will spend an estimated 7.1 billion hours preparing their 2024 taxes this filing season—a hidden tax on productivity that costs the economy $316 billion in lost time. On top of that, taxpayers face at least $148 billion in out-of-pocket costs for tax prep software and professional services, bringing the total compliance burden to a staggering $464 billion. IRS-related compliance makes up 61% of all paperwork burdens placed on Americans by the federal government. Compared to last year, the dollar cost is about even ($464 billion this year vs.
$475 billion last year). Much of the increase is due to higher labor and service costs. While the hourly burden is significantly lower (7.1 billion this year vs. 7.9 billion last year) most of the reported reduction in hours is due to IRS modeling changes—not actual simplification, so most taxpayers will see little difference in their experience. The hours burden remains below the 8 billion hours annually spent prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. As Congress engages in major tax debates this year, lawmakers should focus on reducing the tax compliance burden through real reform.
Taxpayers deserve a simpler, more efficient system—and a government that values their time as much as their tax dollars. Each year, NTUF analyzes data and documentation that the IRS is required by law to submit to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) to track paperwork burdens. For the 2024 tax year, Americans spent an astonishing 7.1 billion hours complying with the tax code—handling everything from recordkeeping and researching the rules to completing forms and submitting them to the IRS. All of that adds up to a tremendous drain on time and productivity. To better understand the real-world impact of that burden, NTUF also estimates its economic cost using private sector labor rates. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
non-federal civilian employers were paid an average of $44.67 per hour in 2024—including wages, salaries, and benefits. That’s a 3.6% increase from 2023, driven in part by persistent inflation. When applied to the 7.1 billion hours spent on tax compliance, the opportunity cost totals a staggering $316 billion—a hidden tax on time that Americans never get back. And that’s just the value of time. On top of that, taxpayers shoulder significant out-of-pocket costs—estimated at $148 billion—for tax software, professional preparation services, and other filing-related expenses like printing and copying. It’s worth noting that this figure is based on an incomplete estimate from the IRS (more on that below), so the true amount could be even higher.
by Thomas Aiello, Pete Sepp October 08, 2025 Deregulation of America’s freight rail system in 1980 not only helped save the industry from collapse, but has turbocharged America’s economy over the past four-and-a-half decades. Unfortunately, lawmakers continue to push policies that could turn back the clock on the Staggers Rail Act by imposing crushing rules and regulations—which would harm American businesses, consumers, and taxpayers. With the Surface Transportation Reauthorization coming next year, it is imperative that lawmakers take a light touch approach to regulation and make some common sense improvements to the system. This month marks 45 years since President Jimmy Carter signed into law the Staggers Rail Act (SRA) of 1980—a transformative piece of legislation that deregulated America’s freight rail industry. National Taxpayers Union was proud to work on this legislation and, even today, we consider it to be a major milestone for free markets and sound regulation.
It isn’t hyperbole to say that the SRA helped save taxpayers from countless billions in liabilities if freight rail carriers had remained under government control, and spurred innovations that continue to reverberate through our... by Thomas Aiello, Ryan Nabil December 03, 2025 To: Members of the House Committee on Energy and CommerceFrom: National Taxpayers UnionDate: December 2, 2025Subject: NTU’s Views on December 3, 2025, Committee Markup On behalf of National Taxpayers Union (NTU), the nation’s oldest taxpayer advocacy organization, we write to express our views on several measures slated for consideration before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on... NTU applauds the Committee for its continued efforts to advance legislation that improves government efficiency, cuts red tape, protects consumer choice, and boosts American energy production. As such, NTU strongly urges Committee members to support the following 13 bills.
H.R. 1343, Federal Broadband Deployment Tracking Act (Reps. Pfluger and Soto) H.R. 1588, Facilitating DIGITAL Applications Act (Reps. Miller-Meeks and Dingell)
If states are the “laboratories of democracy,” some laboratories are proving to be more attractive than others. NTUF’s recent series of reports on interstate migration of taxpayers shows that clearly. Numbers, when they reach a certain number of digits, can be hard to put into context. Our brains are not wired to process them into useful takeaways. For example, the latest IRS migration data release, covering residency changes between 2021 and 2022, shows that California lost 302,543 residents, on net, to other states. That certainly sounds like a lot of people, but if the number was 352,000, or 392,000, would it translate any differently in our minds?
One way to consider these figures in a more accessible format is in terms of frequency. In other words, for states that lose residents on net to interstate migration, how often is someone packing up and moving to greener pastures? And conversely, for states that gain residents on net, how often is someone previously living in another state choosing your state to start the next chapter of their life? The map below shows how often each state is gaining/losing residents from/to other states. In each case, the data presented below is based on net interstate migration (taking into account moves in both directions). window.addEventListener("message",function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}});
Today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments over whether the Trump Administration’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) will be allowed to stand. “Today’s arguments clearly showed the need for the Supreme Court to overturn the IEEPA tariffs,” Free Trade Initiative Director Bryan Riley said. Here are three key takeaways for taxpayers from today’s arguments. Tariffs are taxes. Attorney Neil Katyal, representing businesses that oppose the tariffs, opened his argument by stating: “May it please the court, tariffs are taxes.
They take dollars from Americans’ pockets and deposit them in the U.S. Treasury. Our founders gave that taxing power to Congress. Yet here, the president bypassed Congress and imposed one of the largest tax increases in our lifetimes.” Academia.edu no longer supports Internet Explorer.
