About this episode
The House of Representatives was busy last week passing a set of tax bills related to health savings accounts and a measure to repeal the medical device tax permanently. The House is on summer recess now, but the Senate is set to vote on a package of bills that include a funding boost for the IRS. Capitol Hill reporter Allyson Versprille spoke with Talking Tax host Amanda Iacone on July 30 about that legislative activity plus the addition of another IRS overhaul bill to the agenda—and the donor-disclosure debate that could be stalling Senate confirmation of Charles Rettig as IRS commissioner.
