No Taxation Without Operation Act

This bill would suspend federal income taxes on wages for citizens during any full or partial federal government shutdown caused by a lapse in appropriations. During a shutdown, no penalties or interest would build up on federal individual income tax payments or returns. Back pay given to federal employees and contractors who were furloughed or worked without pay during a shutdown would not be subject to federal income tax. The Treasury Department would issue guidelines for employers on how to follow these rules for tipped, hourly, salaried, and other workers.
