Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Biden formally proposed reversing core 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions - restoring the 39.6% top individual rate and raising the corporate rate - in the April 2021 American Families Plan and in each annual budget, though his own plans preserved the cuts for households under $400,000 rather than eliminating them outright. None of these rollbacks passed Congress during his term. The TCJA's rate cuts remained in effect through January 20, 2025, with the IRS applying that law's 37% top rate for tax year 2024.
