Carlos Curbelo Fights for Streamlined Tax Code on Tax Day

With Wednesday being Tax Day, U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., is using the occasion to gather support for a simplified tax code, gathering online petitions to streamline federal taxes.

Filing taxes is a confusing and burdensome process that we must comply with each year, Curbelo insisted on Wednesday. Too much of our time and hard-earned money is spent just on filing our tax returns. Its time we did away with this headache and simplify the tax code.

To keep our country competitive in a vast global economy, we must make the tax code work for small businesses and working families. Tax reform will keep businesses and jobs in our country and reward hard work, not pander to special interests," Curbelo added. As a small-business owner, I know how much this complexity hurts our economy. Stand with me for a reformed tax code that empowers our economy."
