What this bill would do

The Tax Fairness for Workers Act aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It proposes allowing workers to take an above-the-line deduction specifically for union dues and expenses. Additionally, the bill seeks to allow a miscellaneous itemized deduction for various unreimbursed expenses incurred while working as an employee. These changes would apply to taxable years starting after December 31, 2024.
