Poll Worker Tax Cut Act
Poll Workers: Federal Income Tax Exemption
The Poll Worker Tax Cut Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on Ways and Means for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
This bill was introduced by a group of Democrats and currently lacks the broad support from both parties needed to pass through a divided Congress.
Key Points
- This bill would stop the federal government from taking income taxes out of the pay people receive for working at polling places.
- It covers anyone who works a temporary job as a poll worker for any type of public election, including local and national races.
- Even though you would not pay federal income tax on this money, you would still have to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on it.
- Supporters hope this change will make it easier for cities and towns to find enough people to help run elections by letting workers keep more of their pay.
- If it becomes law, the tax break would apply to all poll worker pay received after December 31, 2025.
