Warren's specific Ultra-Millionaire Tax was not enacted; her bills in 2021, 2024, and 2026 remained at introduction/referral. However, the Inflation Reduction Act enacted related tax-fairness measures including a corporate alternative minimum tax, stock-repurchase excise tax, and IRS enforcement funding. That is meaningful but incomplete progress toward making wealthy or high-income interests pay more, not full delivery of the wealth-tax promise.
