Please support HB 1001, the "Automatic Taxpayer Refund Program."

Originally proposed by Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, the bill would put money back into the pockets of Hoosiers by returning excess state revenue back to the taxpayers. The plan would allow taxpayers to keep more of their hard-earned money while preventing government officials from using our tax dollars for wasteful projects.

The automatic taxpayer refund program would encourage fiscal responsibility and constrain the growth of state government. It will ensure that the state does not build any unnecessary surpluses of taxpayers’ money. In 2010, Hoosiers worked 95 days before they earned enough money to pay off their federal, state and local tax obligations. If the automatic taxpayer refund program is enacted, the people of Indiana may pay less in taxes in future years.
