End Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act
The Senate passed the End Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act by unanimous consent, sending it to the president. The bill extends federal tax deadlines for Americans held hostage or wrongfully detained abroad, forgives and refunds taxes, interest, and penalties they were charged for missing deadlines during their detention, and directs the State and Justice Departments to give the IRS lists of who qualifies. Senator Coons, who supported passage, told the story of Jason Rezaian, a reporter detained in Iran, and urged quick passage. Other business on the floor, including objections to a separate North Dakota land exchange bill and a housing agency inspector general funding bill, was about other measures and is not part of this bill’s debate.Written by AI from the debate.
