    This is not uncommon that some situation no one envisioned when the legislation was written forces an agency to act in a way that breeches common sense but the agency has no authority to selectively ignore the law.

    Our own bill I’ve been pushing is like this though to a less obvious extent.

    Hopefully congress will fix this.

      Kamala-lama-ding-dong must have forgotten to include the Hostage Tax Forgiveness in the Student Loan Forgiveness proposal.

      OTOH, there's a lot more students!

        Fixing this would reveal the rather blurry line between hostage and foreign prisoner.

          I would think/hope a phone call would solve this.

          I am sure the credit, taxes, etc are all automated and if someone misses a payment or taxes, it immediately sends out a notice.

          After the IRS looks bad in national news. That's what it takes.

            Yup. Usually the case.

            Governement organization (or company, etc.) treats a person bad. Nothing is done. Story gets on the news. Same organization or company suddenly is able to "solve" the problem.

              Well, their union does support Kamala-lama-ding-dong.

              Perhaps she'll give them a buzz...

                I suspect they’re correct in saying the law doesn’t allow them to make unilateral exceptions to tax penalties except under prescribed circumstances.

                  By the way, was Britney Griner a prisoner in a foreign land or a hostage?

                    That doesn't exempt them from doing it.

                      You want government agencies to follow the law or do you want government agencies to not follow the law?
