NATIONAL TAXPAYERS UNION

Need a Guest Who Can Talk Taxes?
Turn to NTU, the Voice of American Taxpayers!

Washington, DC - April 15 is a week away – who can you trust for the best news and views on taxes? The 362,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU) was founded in 1969 to work for lower taxes, smaller government, and taxpayer rights at all levels. Experts at NTU are available RIGHT NOW for interviews on tax topics your listeners want to hear:

· Tax Complexity: Last year, taxpayers using any of the 1040 tax form series spent an average of 24.2 hours and $207 completing their returns. How bad will it be this year? NTU’s highly anticipated annual study of tax system complexity has the answers.

· The Stimulus Checks: Despite the hype, many people won’t qualify to get their stimulus checks next month. Our step-by-step guide can help check their eligibility, while our Tax Refund Finder can locate missing checks from past years.

· Who Pays Income Taxes? To hear many tell it, the poor shoulder most of the federal tax burden while the rich get off lightly. What does the data show? NTU can put it all in perspective.

· Tax Reform: Congress protected 35 million Americans from the Alternative Minimum Tax for just this year; how can we fix this system and what are the Presidential candidates promising to do about it?

· Taxpayer Friend or Foe? Who in Congress is fighting to make future April 15ths less burdensome? NTU’s 2007 Rating of lawmakers, based on a record 609 roll call votes affecting fiscal policy, can help citizens find out how their Senators and Representatives scored.

· Last Minute Filing Tips: Between 10 and 20 million Americans have yet to file their tax returns. For these procrastinators, we have “dos” and “don’ts” for getting their taxes done on time.

The 362,000-member NTU is a nonpartisan, nonprofit citizen group founded in 1969 to work for lower taxes, smaller government, and economic freedom at all levels.
