Feenstra Calls for Full Repeal of Federal Death Tax

January 14, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, during a U.S. House Ways and Means Committee hearing on reauthorizing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) emphasized the importance of passing his Death Tax Repeal Act, which would permanently repeal the federal death tax.

“The death tax is an egregious double tax that unfairly targets our family farms and small businesses. The death of a loved one should not trigger a massive tax bill from the federal government that threatens to force family-owned-and-operated farms and businesses to close their doors for good,” said Rep. Feenstra. “We need to pass the Death Tax Repeal Act to permanently eliminate the death tax and ensure that our families, farmers, and small businesses can keep more of their hard-earned money. Serving on the Ways and Means Committee, I will continue to fight for tax relief for Iowans and work to reauthorize the successful Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that grew our economy and lowered costs.”
