CUNA, NAFCU and the Independent Community Bankers of America have written a joint letter to two key Senators requesting they strip a provision from a transportation bill, which could require additional mortgage reporting to the IRS.

In the July 16, 2015 letter to Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), the three trade groups emphasized their opposition to a provision in a transportation bill that would mandate financial institutions report to the IRS the date of origination of each mortgage, the outstanding principal of each loan and the property's address.
