There’s Good and Bad in the Senate Draft Tax Bill
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus has released the draft of his tax bill that includes some good news and some bad news for credit unions. The good news is that the credit union tax exemption is not affected. The bad news is that the bill would require financial institutions to report all accounts that have no or nominal earnings during the tax year and would expand the scope of information that would need to be reported on IRS Form 1098 (for mortgage interest reporting).
