U.S. Treasury and IRS to Close Major Tax Loophole for Wealthy Taxpayers, Raising $50 Billion Over a Decade
Jun 17, 2024, 02:26 PM
The U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have announced a new initiative to close a major tax loophole used by large partnerships.

The announcement was made on Monday and targets wealthy filers.
