Tax saver exemption repealed as deficit talks move forward
House and Senate negotiators reached a quick repeal of the 1981 savers exemption that would have allowed up to 450 dollars in interest to be untaxed each year. The move aims to trim the deficit by about 6.9 billion over three years as part of a package reducing the deficit by 150 to 180 billion. The agreement comes amid negotiations to delay the savings incentive starting in 1985.
