Ridgewood NJ, In 4 days, millions of Americans will go to the polls to decided everything from local ballot questions to the next President of the United States.

This year has been a busy one for tax policy. Throughout this year’s election, every major presidential candidate put forth a comprehensive tax plan (in some cases more than one), and at the state and local level, a number of tax policy proposals have made it on to ballots, some of which would be momentous if passed.

All of this can be difficult to keep track of and even harder to understand. The Tax Foundation has worked hard over the past year to provide Ridgewood blog readers and the media with the most accurate, timely, and accessible information possible on the tax policies being proposed.

To that end, here are 3 resources that we hope you and other taxpayers will find useful before entering the voting booth next week:

  1. Our guide to the top state and local tax ballot initiatives to watch in 2016
  2. An at-a-glance comparison of of how the Clinton and Trump tax plans would affect the U.S. economy
  3. An interactive tax calculator that shows how the Clinton and Trump tax plans would impact your wallet
