Moran Recognized by National Taxpayers Union for Protecting Taxpayer Rights

Congressman Nathaniel Moran (TX-01) recognized as the Taxpayer Defender of the Month for May 2026. The Taxpayer Defender award is presented by the National Taxpayers Union to recognize leaders who demonstrate a strong commitment to fiscal discipline, transparency, and protecting taxpayers. Further, the award highlights lawmakers who pair policy expertise with courage and common sense.

Moran was chosen for his leadership abilities by securing bipartisan support for H.R. 6506, the Taxpayer Due Process Enhancement Act. This practical legislation modernizes the U.S. Tax Court to ensure taxpayers have an opportunity to challenge disputed tax liabilities with the IRS.

"Accountability and transparency in our tax system are necessary to safeguard essential taxpayer rights," said Rep. Moran. "I'm honored to receive NTU's Taxpayer Defender Award, and I will continue to work to give taxpayers a clear, common-sense process to challenge disputed liabilities with the IRS. We must modernize our tax system, and I will continue to stand up for the taxpayers I represent by working to make this modernization and simplification a reality."

NTU Executive Vice President Brandon Arnold: "We are proud to select Representative Moran as our Taxpayer Defender of the Month. His work helps restore trust in government by making sure the American people have a fair and open path to challenge the IRS."
