National Taxpayers Union Foundation

The number of filers with no federal income tax liability increased from 2017 to 2018, likely due to provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act such as the expanded standard deduction that made the tax code more progressive and decreased the income tax liability for low-income filers, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation said in an October 15 report.
