A bipartisan group of House Republicans, led by Representative Randy Feenstra of Iowa's 4th congressional district (IA04), has introduced the Death Tax Repeal Act, aiming to permanently repeal the federal estate tax, commonly referred to as the 'death tax.' The bill has garnered the support of 162 colleagues and is co-sponsored by multiple representatives, including Mark Green, Chuck Edwards, Mike McCaul, Mike Turner, Claudia Tenney, Steve Womack, Gus Bilirakis, John Rose, Bob Latta, Ashley Hinson, and August Pfluger. The legislation seeks to alleviate the tax burden on America's family farms and small businesses after the loss of a loved one, which proponents argue amounts to unjust double taxation. The bill has been framed as a way to protect grieving families from additional financial liabilities in states like Tennessee and Arkansas, and to prevent the government from profiting from the death of family members who own farms and businesses. The Tennessee GOP Delegation has expressed strong support for the repeal.
With the value of land and property in Tennessee skyrocketing, the Death Tax is affecting more and more families each year. I’m proud to join the Tennessee GOP Delegation to support the repeal of this heinous tax. https://t.co/kYVVoEMiah
I thank my good friend from Texas, @RepPfluger, for supporting my Death Tax Repeal Act. The federal government uses the death of a family member to tax family farms and small businesses in Iowa, Texas, and nationwide. This bill ends this double taxation. https://t.co/bVLe0fcqJv
Yesterday, during my meeting with the Harrison County Farm Bureau in Logan and at my Farm Bill town hall in Treynor, #IA04 farmers told me that the death tax needs to die. I completely agree. That’s why I introduced my Death Tax Repeal Act to eliminate the death tax for good!
The death tax is a scam. I’m helping lead a bipartisan effort to permanently repeal the death tax and ensure that family farmers and small business owners aren’t unfairly penalized by the federal government when a loved one dies.

The Biden administration only views family farms and small businesses as sources of tax revenue when a family member dies. That’s why I recently led 162 of my colleagues in introducing the Death Tax Repeal Act to permanently repeal the death tax. No more double taxation! #IA04
Why should the government get a second bite of the apple when a farmer or small business owner passes away? The death tax creates real and unfair consequences for our farmers and small business owners. I am proud to join @RepFeenstra in this effort to eliminate the death tax. https://t.co/vsiu4Z93jS
I’m proud to co-sponsor the Death Tax Repeal Act. This legislation will end double taxation on America’s family farms and small businesses and ensure that these families keep more of their hard-earned money! https://t.co/LfAHebO0C6
Tennessee can always teach Washington a thing or two and this is a prime example: Farm families should be able to pass their family farms to the next generation without the heavy burden of the Death Tax. We repealed it in Tennessee and it's time we repeal it nationally. https://t.co/e7vwAUADTC
I'm proud to support @RepFeenstra's Death Tax Repeal Act to permanently eliminate the costly and unfair tax on families after the loss of a loved one. By ending double taxation on family-owned farms and small businesses, Arkansans can keep their hard-earned money and carry on…
My Death Tax Repeal Act ends double taxation on #IA04 farmers and small businesses. President Biden has already wasted enough money on his liberal agenda. He doesn’t need more tax dollars to impose his Green New Deal policies on Iowa.
I joined @RepFeenstra in cosponsoring the Death Tax Repeal Act. Our small, family-owned farms & businesses in #NY24 should not be double-taxed for carrying on the family tradition when a loved one passes. This bill works to repeal this unjust & unnecessary burden. https://t.co/zM9DvgBPQf
Farmers & small business owners are critical to our economy. The last thing these grieving families need after losing loved ones is to be penalized with a massive tax. Read more on the Death Tax Repeal Act below⬇️ https://t.co/Eu0WMpzqwK
No one grieving the loss of a loved one should be forced to deal with additional tax liabilities from D.C. I cosponsored @RepFeenstra’s bipartisan legislation that would permanently repeal the death tax and generation-skipping transfer taxes. Learn more: https://t.co/pdPzRMwgox
Too many Tennesseans, especially farmers, are affected by the death tax. That's why I'm proud to cosponsor @RepFeenstra's Death Tax Repeal Act. https://t.co/r06d5DmyGV
The Death Tax Repeal Act that I’m co-sponsoring would protect family-owned businesses and farmers who have lost a family member from an unjustified double taxation just to continue working in their family business or farm. https://t.co/1eN1p2g5UC
Our families are already taxed enough as it is. That's why I introduced the Death Tax Repeal Act with 162 of my colleagues to permanently repeal the death tax and let #IA04 families, farmers, and small businesses keep more of their hard-earned money. https://t.co/lpoLnDrkmU
