U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., introduced the Stop Punishing Innocent Taxpayers Act (HR 4491) on Friday. Buchanan, who sits on the Ways and Means Committee, insists his bill would stop the IRS from going after the relatives of Social Security recipients who received overpayments. The bill would restore a statute of limitations on federal debts to a 10-year period.
