Abstract

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was the largest tax overhaul since 1986. Our assessment - based on a variety of sources - suggests that the act will do the following: stimulate the economy in the near term but have small impacts on long-term growth; reduce federal revenues; make the distribution of after-tax income less equal; simplify taxes in some ways but create new complexity and compliance issues in others; and reduce health insurance coverage and charitable contributions. Its ultimate effects will depend on how other countries, the Federal Reserve Board, and future Congresses respond.
