The planned increases reportedly include raising the corporate tax from 21% to 28%, increasing the income tax rate on people making over $400,000, expanding the estate tax, paring back tax preferences on pass-through businesses such as limited-liability companies, and setting up a higher capital-gains tax rate for individuals making at least $1 million.
The tax hike, the first such measure since Bill Clinton’s overhaul in 1993, will likely include repealing former President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax law, which benefitted corporations and wealthy individuals, Bloomberg reported, citing sources.
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin told The Hill in January that repealing Trump’s tax cuts while the pandemic continues to weigh on the economy would be “ridiculous,” though his stance has eased a bit since then. He said last month that “everything’s open for discussion.”
From 1979 to 2019, the wealthiest 1%’s share of pre-tax income jumped from about 11% to 19%, according to the World Inequality Database, maintained by Gabriel Zucman, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, and other experts on inequality. And that group’s share of wealth — including real estate and stock portfolios — surged from roughly 23% to 35% in the same period.
“To further reduce inequality, Congress would need to increase taxation at the top end — in particular, the taxation of wealth and capital income,’’ Zucman said. “There is a real risk, otherwise, that wealth concentration, which has surged over the last four decades, will keep rising in the post-COVID world.’’
Bloomberg reported that in addition to funding key initiatives, including providing more help for poorer Americans, the planned tax changes would address what Democrats deem as inequalities in the tax system.
“His whole outlook has always been that Americans believe tax policy needs to be fair, and he has viewed all of his policy options through that lens,” former Biden economic aide Sarah Bianchi told Bloomberg. “That is why the focus is on addressing the unequal treatment between work and wealth.”
A date for an announcement has not yet been set, Bloomberg reported, but the White House has said the plan would follow the signing of the coronavirus relief bill.

The Roman Catholic Church cannot bless same-sex marriages, no matter how stable or positive the couples’ relationships are, the Vatican said on Monday. The message, approved by Pope Francis, came in response to questions about whether the church should reflect the increasing social and legal acceptance of same-sex unions.
“Does the Church have the power to give the blessing to unions of persons of the same sex?” the question asked. “Negative,” replied the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which is responsible for defending Catholic doctrine.
The church says its answer regarding same-sex couples “declares illicit any form of blessing that tends to acknowledge their unions as such.”
The message underlines the church’s insistence that marriage should be limited to a union between a man and a woman, saying that same-sex unions involve “sexual activity outside of marriage.” In the Vatican’s view, same-sex marriages are not part of God’s plan for families and raising children.
“The presence in such relationships of positive elements, which are in themselves to be valued and appreciated, cannot justify these relationships and render them legitimate objects of an ecclesial blessing,” the statement said.
Bestowing a blessing on a same-sex couple’s relationship would also be an “imitation” of the nuptial blessing, the Vatican said. God, the Vatican said, “does not and cannot bless sin.”
Because of the Vatican’s stance on marriage, critics have accused the church of treating LGBTQ people as lesser members of its congregation. In an apparent response to those concerns, the Vatican said on Monday that its declaration is not meant to be “unjust discrimination.”
It called on Catholics “to welcome with respect and sensitivity persons with homosexual inclinations.”
The Vatican also said that its refusal to give religious approval to same-sex marriage does not preclude giving blessings to homosexual people. But it added that the church “does not have, and cannot have,” the power to bless same-sex relationships.
The message cited Francis’ own words from 2016, when he wrote, “there are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God’s plan for marriage and family.”
That line comes from “Amoris Laetitia” (The Joy of Love), the papal treatise on families that was widely seen as Pope Francis’ move to make the Catholic Church more inclusive. When it was published, the document set off disagreements within the church hierarchy over whether Catholics who have been divorced and remarried should receive sacraments.
Pope Francis has been viewed with cautious optimism by LGBTQ groups because of remarks like his statement, widely published in 2020, that homosexuals are “part of the family” and that same-sex and other nontraditional couples need a “civil union law.” But rights advocates also noted that the pope’s remarks didn’t promise a change within the church, saying the comment seemed to reflect his own opinions, rather than a shift in Catholic doctrine.
Arradondo, who is expected to testify in the trial, has said he decided to fire the officers after reviewing evidence in the case, including the body-camera videos. But Arradondo, the city’s first Black police chief, also said he consulted with faith leaders, including Black clergy, and Mayor Jacob Frey before he made his final decision.
The third stimulus check is already hitting some bank accounts, just one day after President Joe Biden signed the American Rescue Act into law. But while some households will see the funds within the next few days, others may be in for a longer wait.
About 85% of people will receive one of the $1,400 checks, Mr. Biden said on Friday. But it’s likely that some of the issues that stymied delivery for some people in the previous two rounds could cause a repeat situation. For instance, some people who didn’t have a bank account on file with the IRS during the previous two rounds of checks had to wait several weeks for debit cards or paper checks to reach their homes.
It’s most likely that people who have filed their 2020 or 2019 tax returns and have a bank account on file with the tax agency will quickly receive their stimulus checks through direct deposit, based on the prior payment rollouts. That’s because the IRS prioritizes getting the stimulus money out quickly to those that it knows it can reach — and it’s a massive effort, given that the tax agency has $422 billion in funds to distribute to more than 100 million taxpayers.
“You don’t need to do anything to get your stimulus check,” a TurboTax spokesperson told CBS MoneyWatch in an email. “The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited.”
The TurboTax spokesperson added, “If you haven’t filed your 2020 return yet, you can do that now to give your most recent information to the IRS, including bank account or address information to help ensure your stimulus check goes to the right place.”
One financial institution told CBS MoneyWatch it began receiving payments from the IRS for its customers starting around 11 a.m. ET on Friday. The bank, Current, said customers were receiving their stimulus payments faster because some had updated their bank account information with the IRS when they filed their 2020 tax returns — and added that some accounts had received stimulus payments as high as $9,800.
Even while some payments are landing just one day after the bill was signed, the IRS has until the end of 2021 to distribute the checks, according to the legislation.
Here’s what could hold up some people from receiving their money, or receiving the incorrect amount.
You haven’t filed your 2019 or 2020 tax returns
Many people probably haven’t filed their 2020 tax returns yet, given that the deadline for getting in your tax forms is April 15. In that case, there’s no reason to worry — the IRS will use your 2019 tax return to determine how much you should receive.
But this becomes trickier for people who aren’t required to file tax returns, such as those with no or very little earnings, which can be the case for some people on Social Security.
That became an issue with the first round of stimulus checks, especially since many of these people were in deepest need of the first round’s $1,200 payments — and it wasn’t an insignificant number. The IRS said it distributed more than 22 million stimulus payments last year that weren’t based on filed tax returns.
Because of that issue, the IRS last year created a website specifically for non-filers, where they could provide their bank account information or addresses to the agency, as well as provide their number of dependents, who were each eligible for $500 in stimulus aid at the time.
But the non-filers website has been closed since late last year, and IRS and Treasury officials said on a Friday conference call with reporters that they are urging non-filers to file a 2020 tax return to ensure they get all the payments and tax credits they are owed.
You filed a paper return
The IRS warned earlier this year that people who file paper tax returns could face delays. That’s because the IRS is still dealing with a logjam of tax returns filed in 2019 — and it’s likely that 2020 returns filed on paper will also face processing delays.
The tax agency’s backlog is partially due to the pandemic, which prompted the IRS to shift its workers to remote work. When that happened, it stored paper tax returns in trailers until it could get to them. At the end of January, it still had 6.7 million returns awaiting processing.
People should file an electronic return in 2020 to ensure faster processing of their taxes, as well as their refunds and stimulus payments, IRS and Treasury officials said on Friday.
You moved or changed your bank account
This could be a worry for people who received a mailed check or pre-paid debit card but recently moved, as well as people who changed their bank accounts.
The IRS said it will open up its “Get My Payment” tool on IRS.gov next week. The site will inform people about the status of their payment, but won’t allow them to update their bank account information, Treasury and IRS officials said on Friday. However, the officials added that the agencies have been working on checking whether the bank account information they have is correct for consumers.
The downside: If a check is issued to a closed or incorrect account, the IRS will need to reissue the payment in a check and mail it to your house. That could add to your wait.
You have new or older dependents
Some people may get their checks quickly, but find that the amounts are incorrect — that could most likely be due to their dependents.
The third stimulus check entitles dependents to receive $1,400 each, but the IRS might not be aware of your children in some cases. For instance, if you had a baby in 2020 but haven’t yet filed your tax return, the IRS will rely on your 2019 tax return to determine how much you are owed, which won’t show the new child because they hadn’t yet been born.
For instance, a couple with a baby born in 2020 should receive $4,200, but if the IRS doesn’t have their 2020 tax return, it will issue a payment of $2,800 for the two adults in the family. But IRS and Treasury officials said on Friday that families in this situation can be assured they will eventually get the additional $1,400 for their baby.
When they file their 2020 tax return, the IRS will check if they are owed more, such as in the case of a baby born last year. If that happens, the IRS will automatically issue the additional $1,400 check to the family, officials said.
Similar issues could occur for people who normally don’t file tax returns and who used the non-filers tool to report their dependents last year. Because the first two rounds of checks excluded dependents above the age of 17, the IRS didn’t count older teens and adult dependents on the non-filer tool.
People who typically don’t file taxes are urged to file a 2020 return this year, Treasury and IRS officials said. That would help the IRS identify whether they have dependents who qualify for the third stimulus check. It would also potentially unlock other tax benefits that those households otherwise might not have claimed, such as the Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit, both of which were expanded in the American Rescue Plan.
You lost income in 2020 but not yet filed a return
Some people could also receive less than they are entitled to if their income dropped in 2020 but they haven’t yet filed their 2020 tax returns. This could happen for a single person who earned $90,000 in 2019, which is above the cutoff of $80,000 to receive a payment, but lost their job in 2020 and only earned $45,000 last year as a result.
If that person hasn’t filed their 2020 return yet, they won’t receive a stimulus payment because the IRS will base its calculation on their 2019 return, which showed they aren’t eligible. But as soon as they file their 2020 tax return with the lower income, the IRS will issue stimulus payment to them, IRS and Treasury officials said.

Travel disruptions continued Monday for parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska after a powerful winter storm hit the region.
As of 10 a.m. ET, 1,000 flights in, out and across the United States had been canceled, according to FlightAware, which tracks worldwide flight traffic data in real-time. Meanwhile, more than 300 flights have already been delayed, according to the data.
On Sunday, a powerful winter snowstorm intensified over the central Rocky Mountains with heavy snow and wind leading to airport and road closures, power outages and avalanche warnings within the three states.
The National Weather Service in Wyoming called it a “historic and crippling” winter storm that would cause extremely dangerous to impossible travel conditions through at least early Monday.
In Denver, Colorado, crews are still working around the clock to clear the runways after the area got hit with over 27 inches of snow.
All runways remain closed as of 8:30 a.m. and every flight in and out of Denver International Airport Monday morning has been canceled.
“If you’re traveling today, please double check your flight status with your airline,” the airline tweeted.
Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska, issued an alert to travelers who have connecting flights into Dever. Its website noted that all flights into Denver from the area have been canceled.
The National Weather Service issued a reminder that travel is still dangerous within both Wyoming and Nebraska due to slick and snow-covered roads. The agency also projected that there may be more chances of snowfall through Tuesday.
Nebraska’s transportation department is asking residents to delay travel plans until the storm cleanup is finished.
However, most Denver residents are in the clear with the National Weather Service noting that there will only be “light snowfall” in certain parts of the state.
Now, it’s “time to dig out of the big snow,” the agency tweeted.
State Senate Minority Leader Robert Ortt says Democrats have been afraid of Cuomo and protected him for too long.
President Joe Biden broke his silence on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s mounting allegations of sexual misconduct on Sunday – but fell short of calling on the embattled New York Democrat to resign.
The president and longtime Cuomo acquaintance finally addressed the scandal in an unscheduled question-answer session from the White House South Lawn after several Democrats joined the growing chorus of lawmakers who have demanded the governor’s resignation following the seventh allegation of sexual misconduct.
When asked whether he agreed with other Democrats calling for Cuomo’s immediate resignation, Biden said plainly, “I think the investigation is underway and we should see what it brings us.”
With the exception of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Biden’s wait-and-see approach is not a common sentiment within his own party. New York Democratic Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer joined New York Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jerry Nadler on Friday in calling for their state’s governor to leave his position as allegations of inappropriate conduct continue to emerge.
Pelosi on Sunday reaffirmed that she has “zero tolerance” for sexual harassment – but refused to echo their calls for his resignation until an investigation is completed.
New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating harassment allegations, and Cuomo has said he will “fully cooperate” with her probe, but expressed no plans to resign. A defiant Cuomo addressed the allegations during a press call on Friday afternoon, insisting that he “did not do what has been alleged.”
Despite this, nearly 90% of New York’s congressional delegation has called for the governor’s resignation or impeachment, as have more than 80% of state senators. Last week, the state Assembly initiated what could be the first step toward impeachment by opening an investigation with full subpoena power into sexual misconduct allegations against the governor and his handling of COVID-19 at nursing homes.
Biden’s weeks-long silence surrounding the scandal came under question over the weekend by former Cuomo aide and first accuser Lindsey Boylan, who called out the president and vice-president in a since-deleted tweet for refusing to publicly address the mounting allegations.
“The governor has denied all wrongdoing,” Boylan wrote on Twitter. “He got on his platform today and said ‘there are many motivations of why people do things.’ He is calling up hate and speculation to be directed to his accusers. All harm and hate directed at the women sits squarely on @NYGovCuomo.”
Boylan later added, “It also calls into question the judgment and courage of both @POTUS and @KamalaHarris.” She later deleted the second tweet.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Sunday said that the influx of unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border was a “humanitarian crisis” and the result of the policies of former President Donald Trump.
“The Biden administration is trying to fix the broken system that was left to them by the Trump administration,” Pelosi told reporters Sunday. “The Biden administration will have a system, based on doing the best possible job, understanding this is a humanitarian crisis.”
President Joe Biden‘s administration has stopped short of calling the situation on the border a crisis.
On his first day in office, Biden terminated Trump’s declaration of an “emergency” at the southern border, which the former president had used as a legal mechanism to divert extra funds toward the construction of a wall.
“The answer is no,” the DHS secretary said. “I think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing, and we have our resources dedicated to managing it.”
Biden campaigned on a wholesale reversal of Trump’s hardline immigration policies, but a swelling number of children in Customs and Border Protection custody has posed a challenge for the nascent administration.
More than 3,700 children were in CBP custody as of last week, CNN reported, a record number, with about 450 being apprehended every day. Many of those children are being held in facilities that resemble jails, according to the outlet.
The Trump administration faced scrutiny for its treatment of children who attempted to cross into the U.S. via Mexico.
Republicans have sought to portray Democrats as weak on immigration. On Monday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is expected to travel with a delegation of Republicans to the southern border, Axios reported.
McCarthy wrote a letter to Biden on March 5 in which he said he felt “compelled to express great concern with the manner in which your administration is approaching this crisis” and added that he had “hope that we can work together to solve it.”
Earlier on Sunday, Pelosi said on ABC’s “This Week” that the surge in unaccompanied children arriving at the border was “a humanitarian challenge to all of us.”
“What the administration has inherited is a broken system at the border, and they are working to correct that in the children’s interest,” Pelosi said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pointed fingers at former President Donald Trump, insinuating that he’s to blame for the crisis at the border during an appearance on ABC News’ “This Week” Sunday.
“This is a humanitarian challenge to all of us,” she said. “What the administration has inherited is a broken system at the border and they are working to correct that.”
Biden’s latest correction, announced Saturday by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, includes a government-wide effort to house migrant children with support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as numbers continue to rise.
The speaker confirmed there are nearly 600 to 700 more migrant children currently approaching the southern border which triggered the president’s directive to send FEMA to facilitate the transfer of kids from border care facilities and into safe homes.
“This, again, is a transition from what was wrong before to what is right,” she explained.
Pelosi said the Biden administration is attempting to uphold the standards of the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program by putting in place a system that accommodates and respects it while ridding the nation of what the administration considers Trump’s “cruel” approach.
Under Biden’s open-border policies and promises to provide asylum for those seeking it, the U.S. has witnessed a massive influx of migrants at the border, causing an overflow in detention facilities. According to Daily Mail, facilities are over capacity by almost 700%.
Yet the administration and Democrats like Pelosi would rather refer to the overwhelming numbers as a “challenge” instead of a crisis.
In recent weeks, the number of unaccompanied children and family units in custody has tripled and there were more than 100,000 migrant encounters in February alone. The drastic jump directly followed Biden’s inauguration and his first executive order halting southern border wall construction.
Just last week, former President Donald Trump blasted President Biden’s handling of the border crisis, saying the country is being “destroyed” by the recent surge of illegal migrants at the border.
In a statement released Tuesday, Trump pointed to his border policy wins as president, saying that the US-Mexico border under his watch was “in great shape” and was “stronger, safer and more secure than ever before.”
He also said that the border wall “would have easily” been completed if not for Democrats stalling the project.
“We ended Catch-and-Release, shut down asylum fraud and crippled the vicious smugglers, drug dealers and human traffickers,” wrote the former president. “The Wall, despite horrendous Democratic delays, would have easily been finished by now, and is working magnificently.”
Trump concluded: “Our country is being destroyed at the Southern border, a terrible thing to see!”
Protests are now in their sixth week since the coup toppled elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi and plunged the Southeast Asian country into turmoil, with the economy paralyzed by strikes by opponents of the army takeover.
The violence came a day after Mahn Win Khaing Than, who is on the run along with most senior officials from the Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy Party, said the civilian government would seek to give people the legal right to defend themselves.
Security forces opened fire on protesters in the Hlaingthaya district of the city, a poor suburb that is home to migrants from across the country, domestic media said. Plumes of black smoke rose over the area.
Myanmar Now said at least 14 protesters had been killed, according to the local hospital and a rescue worker.
“An official from Hlaingthaya Hospital said the death toll and wounded were still arriving,” its report said. Other Myanmar media gave even higher tolls in the area.
A snowstorm that rolled into Colorado early Saturday morning continued into Sunday.
Here’s a look at snow totals around the Colorado Springs area and elsewhere in Colorado over the past 24 hours as reported at by the National Weather Service.
Some Americans say their stimulus checks are being deposited in the wrong bank accounts this weekend, forcing many of them to wait longer for the badly needed aid after struggling financially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those taxpayers were surprised to see that the last four digits of their bank account numbers were incorrect when they checked their payment status on the IRS website, an issue that happened during the first two rounds of direct payments when technical glitches from third-party tax preparers caused delays for many filers.
Some taxpayers are frustrated that they might have to wait for a paper check in the mail, while others still haven’t received a dime of their second payment that was supposed to arrive months ago.
The IRS didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday.
Lori Young, 52, didn’t recognize the bank account destination for her third stimulus check.
The retired nurse, who lives in Camden, South Carolina, receives Social Security disability benefits. She received her first $1,200 Economic Impact Payment last spring, but she never got a second $600 check in December after the wrong bank account information appeared on the IRS “Get My Payment” tool, the government’s tracking portal.
Young has been receiving Social Security benefits via direct deposit for five years and she hasn’t changed her bank account.
Now her third $1,400 payment is showing the wrong bank account information again on the agency’s tool at a time when her medical bills are piling up. She has fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition, rheumatoid arthritis and is also being tested for Multiple Sclerosis.
“I’m very frustrated. I have so many bills to pay,” says Young. “I have a steady income with my Social Security, but I have a lot of medical issues. I was relying on these stimulus checks to help me pay off my bills.”
What we know
The issue with wrong bank accounts had popped up among filers in the first two rounds who had set up a tax advance in previous years when filing returns, tax professionals say. The IRS and tax partners took steps to redirect stimulus payments to the correct account for those affected, the agency said.
It’s unclear why the wrong account information is still showing up for Young. For filers who didn’t receive a payment in the first two rounds, or received less money than they were eligible for, they may be eligible to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on their 2020 returns, the IRS says.
Young filed a return for 2020 to claim the rebate for her second payment and is still waiting for her refund, she says.
The third round of stimulus checks started hitting bank accounts for eligible Americans this weekend after the American Rescue Plan Act was signed into law Thursday.
The IRS is basing the third round of stimulus checks off tax returns from 2020 or 2019, whichever is more recent.
In the coming weeks, more batches of payments will be sent via direct deposit and through the mail as a check or debit card, according to the agency. Some people may see the direct deposit payments as “pending” or as provisional payments in their accounts before the official payment date of March 17, the IRS added.
Social Security and other federal beneficiaries will generally receive this third payment the same way as their regular benefits, the IRS said. A payment date for this group is expected to be announced soon.
In the prior rounds, if the IRS didn’t have routing and account information for a direct deposit, taxpayers would be sent either a check or debit card in the form of a new EIP Card. Paper checks and debit cards require more processing and mailing time.
‘Payment status not available’
Some people may receive the message “payment status not available” when checking the IRS site.
“If you get this message, either we have not yet processed your payment, or you are not eligible for a payment,” the IRS said.
If that happens, filers should check to make sure they meet the requirements for the money. Filers must have a Social Security number that is valid for employment and are a U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident alien.
The payments would amount to $1,400 for a single person or $2,800 for a married couple filing jointly, plus an additional $1,400 for each dependent child. Individuals earning up to $75,000 would get the full payments, as would married couples with incomes up to $150,000. Payments would decline for incomes above those thresholds, phasing out above $80,000 for individuals and $160,000 for married couples.
Some can’t update banking information
Others have run into issues updating their current bank account information with the IRS.
Ryan Deckard, who lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, received the first payment, but he never got a second one after the “Get my Payment” tool showed an account that was no longer active for him.
So when tax season kicked off this year, he filed his 2020 return with TurboTax on the first day – Feb. 12 – to make sure his bank account information was updated with the IRS. He also claimed the Recovery Rebate Credit to get his second payment.
But when he went online to check the status of his third stimulus check, his old account information was still showing up on the agency’s website.
“I’ve been in the throes of a meltdown. I’m tired of going to bed hungry,” says Deckard, a 33-year-old unemployed author.
If a filer’s bank information is invalid, or the account has been closed, the bank will return the payment to the IRS and the agency will mail a check to the address on file, the IRS says on its website.
“Why can’t I change my banking information? The government shouldn’t be blindly sending money to closed bank accounts,” Deckard added. “It seems like the people who need the money most can’t get it.”
