The Tax Reform Act of 1969

The Tax Reform Act of 1969 was a law aimed at making the U.S. tax system fairer and more efficient. It limited certain deductions for high-income taxpayers, increased the minimum tax for wealthier individuals, and closed loopholes that allowed some to avoid paying their fair share. The goal was to reduce tax evasion, promote equity, and ensure a broader tax base. Overall, it sought to simplify the tax code and promote economic fairness without significantly increasing the taxes paid by the average taxpayer.
