We write to you, in unison, as representatives of the District of Columbia's business organizations, urging you to oppose the Joint Resolution of Disapproval H.J. Res. 142 and Joint Resolution of Disapproval S.J. Res. 102 that would reverse the District's decision to decouple the local tax code from some provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act's federal tax code changes. A reversal of decoupling would create chaos in the middle of tax filing season. The District has already begun accepting and processing returns. It would take the DC government and private vendors months to adjust local tax administration.
