Treasury still plans to withhold interest tax despite repeal
The Treasury continues steps to withhold taxes on interest and dividends starting July 1 while Congress debates repeal. Senate and House votes favor repeal, but identical language is required. IRS says it will halt only printing of withholding cards, while updating forms, publishing explanations, return procedures, and computer programming in anticipation of repeal.
