This proposal would create serious financial privacy concerns, increase tax preparation costs for individuals and small businesses, and create significant operational challenges for financial institutions. While recent proposals suggest that increasing the de minimis threshold to $10,000 is less objecti… HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE     0 0 2022-04-05T12:34:49-04:00
