Lets people register to vote when they get their taxes done.

This bill would make it easier for many Americans to register to vote by requiring certain tax preparers to offer voter registration forms. If you get your taxes done in person or online, you could be offered a chance to register or update your voter information. However, tax preparers would not handle completed forms.

What Would Change

Today, tax preparers generally do not offer voter registration services. If this bill becomes law, certain tax preparers would be required to make voter registration forms or online links available to their customers. This would make it easier to register while doing taxes. However, tax preparers would not handle completed registration forms.

Key Provisions

Requires certain tax preparers to be treated as voter registration agencies.
Requires in-person tax preparers to display voter registration forms visibly in their offices.
Requires online tax preparers to prominently display a link to voter registration forms or websites.
Exempts tax preparers from collecting or sending completed voter registration forms to election officials.
Requires the Treasury Department to provide guidance to certified volunteer tax preparers on these new rules.
Requires volunteer tax preparers to ask customers if they want a voter registration form on their intake sheets.
