IRS Rules Eases But Retains Tax Deduction Limits

Thompson Rules Goods For Stamps Is Constitutional
Atty. Gen. George Thompson ruled that Wisconsin law allowing redemption of retail trading stamps for merchandise or cash would not breach the state constitution. Bills to permit such redemption have been proposed, while the Senate recently killed a similar measure and sought the attorney general's opinion. Thompson said the issue is policy, not constitutional. Stamps can currently be redeemed for cash only.
