Today, Congresswoman Boebert voted against the short-term Continuing Resolution that continues Nancy Pelosi’s inflationary spending and funds Joe Biden’s failed policies. The Continuing Resolution comes at a time when the national debt exceeds $34 trillion, inflation is at its highest in 40 years, and the country is facing its worst-ever border crisis. On Joe Biden’s watch, inflation and gas prices also reached record highs and the U.S. lost its prized AAA credit rating.

Today, the IRS announced they will not be taxing TABOR refunds this tax season. This comes after a year long campaign from Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and the bipartisan Colorado delegation pressuring the IRS to back off of plans to unnecessarily tax TABOR refunds. In 1992, Colorado enacted the TABOR amendment, which imposes constraints on the amount of tax revenue retained by the state, mandating the return of any surplus revenue to our taxpayers. The IRS has consistently refrained from categorizing TABOR refunds as taxable income. This historical practice aligns with the IRS's traditional respect for states' autonomy in designing and administering tax refund procedures.
