LEGISLATIVE AND OVERSIGHT ACTIVITIES DURING THE 118TH CONGRESS BY THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON VETERANS' AFFAIRS
S. Rpt. 119-2 accompanies tax legislation related to federal tax provisions. Tax bills modify the Internal Revenue Code — the federal tax statute — either by creating new provisions, extending expiring ones, or changing existing rules that affect individuals, businesses, or specific industries. The Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee prepared this report to explain the tax changes, estimate their revenue impact (how much they cost or raise), and describe who is affected. Tax reports are technical documents that include detailed analysis from the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) and often reveal the policy priorities driving tax changes.
