Thank you.
Recently, we had Elizabeth Brown as a witness. One of the things she's advocating for is tax fairness for single women. One piece of data she shared with us is this: A couple earning $50,000 will pay $1,172 in taxes. However, a single senior will pay close to $5,800 in taxes. Really, when you look at the overall expenses of individuals, the rent is the same, the utilities are the same, the gas is the same and the insurance on their car is the same.
How is that fair for an individual versus a couple? Has your department done anything to look at tax fairness for single women?
