Senate drops amnesty for tax cheats in overhaul
The Senate voted to strike from the tax overhaul bill a provision that would shield cheats who confess and repay back taxes plus interest from criminal prosecution. Sen. Dale Bumpers said the amnesty was a mistake, while Kerry argued the IRS already waives prosecutions in many voluntary payment cases. The measure aimed to close the tax gap, with supporters citing potential gains in compliance, though the IRS opposed federal amnesty.
