NAR Letter to Representatives Ryan and Brady and the Full House and Senate Opposing a Component of the House Republican Tax Reform Blueprint

Issue Date: December 16, 2016


On December 16, 2016 NAR sent a letter to House Speaker Ryan and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Brady. The letter expresses concern with one aspect of the House Republican Tax Reform Blueprint. The interaction of two specific features of the plan, which are designed to simplify the tax system, would have the unintended consequences of nullifying the long-standing tax incentives of owning a home for the great majority of Americans who now are, or who aspire to become, homeowners.
