🚨 Exciting #TaxDay news! 🚨 PolicyEngine has launched state income tax modeling for all 50 states and D.C. Estimate your taxes, analyze reforms, and explore impacts on households and society. 🧑💻📊 Learn more: policyengine.org/us/research/st…
🌍 PolicyEngine's blasting off with COSMIC MODE 🚀 Our tax and benefit data just entered another dimension. Behold its cosmic beauty, complete with mind-bending colors and celestial charts. 🤯🎨💫
Today we're announcing the beta-launch of our enhanced microdata for tax-benefit analysis, along with two new reports leveraging this data to examine key tax reform proposals. 🧵
It was a real pleasure to work with @ThePolicyEngine on this report. The team was quick to answer questions or squash bugs, and I like how easy the tool makes it to be *curious* when exploring policy changes. (But imagine if it had a console of physical buttons and switches)

Great report showing the wisdom of consolidating family tax benefits into a simple, more generous credit. Also awesome to see @ThePolicyEngine being used here; a tool I enjoy more and more each day.

If you want to read about how Virginia can adopt this approach of simplifying and expanding their family tax policy, you can read this article I wrote while I was at the @NiskanenCenter niskanencenter.org/options-for-vi… P.S. I also used @ThePolicyEngine for some budget estimates :)
Our child-related tax benefits, including EITC, CDCTC, and head of household (HoH) often undermine these goals. We use @ThePolicyEngine to analyze options for further rationalizing this maze of benefits by shrinking or eliminating them in conjunction with a CTC expansion.
