Dear Fellow Federationists:



The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (H.R. 1) was introduced last Thursday,
November 2 in the United States House of Representatives.



Beginning in tax year 2018, this bill will repeal the additional standard
deduction for blind people that is currently valued at $6,350.



As soon as possible, please call your representative and urge him or her to
maintain this critical tax deduction for the blind. The House Ways and
Means Committee began mark up on this bill today, Monday, November 6.



The best way to contact your member of Congress is to call the Capitol
Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for the office in question. Emailing
your member of Congress is also a good idea. If you do so, please copy me
at JPare at nfb.org.

As always, thanks for all you do.

We will keep you apprised of developments.

Warm Regards,

John
