Panel Pushes I-T Dept. for Segregated Income Data

Imagine the government wants to understand where different types of money come from.

Right now, the government mixes up how much individuals earn with how much small businesses earn in their tax records.

A group of lawmakers wants the government to separate these two types of income so they can get a clearer picture of how people are making money.

The government says it is difficult because of how the tax forms are set up, but the lawmakers insist that it is very important for understanding the economy and making the right policies.
