The U.S. House of Representatives voted to hold a former Internal Revenue Service official in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions about her role in scrutinizing Tea Party groups.
Premature withdrawals from retirement accounts have become Americas new piggy bank, cracked open in record amounts during lean times by people like Cindy Cromie, who needed the money to rent a U-Haul and start a new life.
Administering the 2010 health-care law is just like municipal snow shoveling -- a top priority thats non-negotiable, John Koskinen, the commissioner of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, said.
Dozens of lapsed U.S. tax breaks, including benefits for corporate research and international finance operations, would be extended through 2015 in a plan released by Ron Wyden, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.
The House Ways and Means Committee will begin debating which of 55 lapsed U.S. tax breaks should be extended permanently or dropped, potentially affecting a broader revamp of the tax code.
U.S. companies would be prohibited from taking income-tax deductions for their top executives pay exceeding $1 million, even if its based on performance, under a plan from the top Republican tax writer in Congress.
