Can the current Congress do tax legislation on a simple-majority vote?

[Peter Gulia]

In considering whether tax legislation has a realistic possibility in the lame-duck remainder of the current Congress, do we know whether Congress can use budget reconciliation to act on a simple-majority vote?  Or is once-a-year reconciliation used up (so that action in the Senate would require the cloture-granting supermajority)?

Andy Remo with ARA had a brief rundown of the lame duck tax bill in NAPA net today.  Per his article it would require bi partisan support in the Senate so I assume that means they cant use budget reconciliation to pass it without help from the Dems
