“House Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-MO) said Thursday that he’d like to pass a bipartisan tax package before the end of the year,” Politico reports.
“Such legislation could include tax provisions that are due to expire at the end of the year, known as ‘extenders,’ as well as some healthcare items.
”Said Smith: “I would love to work with Sen. Wyden, Chairman Crapo, ranking member Neal in trying to craft a bipartisan bill before the end of the year, because there’s a lot of tax provisions that I really care about that are expiring, or have expired, that are truly, truly bipartisan.”
He added: “But they couldn’t make it in our bill because there’s Republicans that really dislike those provisions.”
