An OMB spokesman tells TaxVox that President Obama’s tax reform panel still plans to report its findings to the president. The spokesman clarified comments on Monday by Budget Director Peter Orszag that suggested the panel’s report would be rolled into the White House’s recently-announced deficit reduction panel, rather than released separately.

However, the spokesman did not say if, or when, the tax reform panel report would be made public. The commission is expected to suggest only a laundry list of potential reforms, but will not recommend specific tax changes.
