“Currently, information reports are not required on non-interest accounts, while there is a $10 threshold for reporting on interest bearing accounts. This change would be effective for the current tax year of 2015, giving banks and credit unions little time to adapt their systems for compliance.  Should this provision be enacted, taxpayers will be awash in new 1099s reporting de minimis amounts of interest.  In many cases, they will report less than a one dollar in earned interest per year.  Additionally, this new reporting requirement will impose substantial costs on the financial services industry that far exceed the revenue that will be gained by the proposal.”
