House and Senate Republicans reached a deal on the final version of a tax reform bill on Dec. 13, clearing the way for the party to deliver a tax overhaul before Christmas. Votes on the final bill could start as early as Dec. 18.

“Congress has reached an agreement on tax legislation that will deliver more jobs, higher wages, and massive tax relief for American families and for American companies,” said President Donald Trump during his speech on tax reform at the White House on the afternoon of Dec. 13.
