Tax Relief for Fraud Victims Act

No matching statements

A bill to let fraud victims deduct stolen money on their taxes instead of paying the IRS on cash a scammer already took, plus some extra time to file refunds and no penalties for pulling money out of retirement plans to cover the loss. Members spent the whole debate agreeing with each other: Republicans and Democrats took turns explaining that taxing people on money they were cheated out of is bad, and that seniors get scammed a lot. Nobody argued, nobody wandered off-topic, and the bill was passed quickly under suspended rules. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.Written by GLM 5.3 Flash. Updated .
