Given that the House passed its tax bill on November 16, the House and Senate will now nominate members for a conference committee to reconcile the two versions of the bill. The House bill contains a provision that would make tuition waivers for graduate students subject to income tax, significantly increasing the tax liability of hundreds of thousands of graduate students. The Senate bill does not include that provision. It is imperative that we urge the conferees to reject that House provision in the final bill. Take ACTION NOW by sending a letter to your members of Congress to to ensure that we keep the Grad Student Tax out of the Bill.
