WASHINGTON—House Republicans introduced their much-anticipated tax reform, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, on Nov. 2. If passed by both chambers, it will be the first major legislative effort of the Trump administration to pass Congress and the biggest tax code rewrite since the Reagan years.
GOP lawmakers are moving fast on their reform plan, and getting it across the finish line seems possible for the first time in decades.
