B rief Services, N o Tears for W ithholding
House and Senate con­
W HEN
ferees finally agreed on July 27

to kill the ill-conceived 10% with­
holding at source law it had enacted
last year, the funeral was reminis­
cent of one from the Old West Boot
Hill services— no tears, curious
onlookers and some officials on hand
to make sure the undesirable was ac­
tually put six feet under. After con­
ferees signed the death certificate
and agreed that the funeral should
be held, the House of Represen­
tatives nailed the coffin shut by a
vote of 392-18 and 6 present, then
the Senate lowered it out of sight by
a vote of 90-7.
It was furnished without charge
by citizens grateful for the removal
of the unwanted resident, by the
American Bankers Association and
the Independent Bankers Associa­
tion of America.
Since an exasperated Treasury
Secretary Donald Regan had earlier
authorized a “ final” delay of with­
holding implementation to August
5, it was a foregone conclusion last
week that President Reagan would
sign the bill by weekend, as he
stated publicly he would.
No tears were evident at the ser­
vices. The debts the deceased left
behind—uncollected taxes from
those who cheat on their interest
and dividend reporting—were taken
care of by the will, or rather bill,
which provides a minimum of $300

million additional funding for the
IRS posse to catch the bad guys dur­
ing FYI 1984-88 and the conferees
preference for at least an additional
$600 million over that period to im­
plement the compliance program

agreed to.
In addition, the IRS posse is au­
thorized to pursue known bad guys
on which it definitely has “ wanted”
posters by prevailing on the local
banker to institute backup withhold­

August 8,1983
ing at a rate of 20%. That with­
holding wrill continue to the end of
the year in which the wayward tax­
payer mends his ways and pays up.
If it happens after October 15, the
withholding will continue through
the local bank or s&l for a full calen­
dar year.
The posse has to give the “ want­
ed” guys a four-month advance
warning, send them four notices
before instituting backup withhold­
ing—and then the local banker gets
30 days in which to set the with­
holding in motion.
In the meantime, if the rustlers
move away, the federal posse will
have to trail them to another rail­
head. They’ll get help on this by re­
quiring that after December 31,
1983, new folks in town who open ac­
counts and brokerage relationships
must fork over to the bank or s&l a
sworn certificate posting their tax­
payer ID number and whether they
are “ wanted” in another county for
backup withholding. This might be
like asking Jesse James to check in
with the Marshal when he gets to
town, but at least it’s a start in the
right direction of tracking down the
real varmints.
In any event, the poor, unwanted
soul has been laid to rest and his dis­
tant cousin, Backup Withholding,
will try to redeem the family ranch
by himself and beat off the rustlers!
But, with the help of his friendly
banker, let’s hope he gets the job
done!
