House approves Indian tax bill on capital gains
The House approved a bill to exempt Indians receiving money from the sale of Klamath tribal lands from capital gains taxes. The measure could save up to $9,000 for those who received the maximum $163 per share. The land was sold to the government for the Winema National Forest after the 1954 termination and trust dissolution. The IRS had taxed the gains since the lands were in trust and not owned by Indians for six years prior to sale.
