Hidden cost: Banks see lower tax bill when they settle with the government

Think taxpayers have these kind of loopholes?


WAPO-

When Bank of America agreed in December to pay $335?million to resolve federal charges that its mortgage-lending arm discriminated against black and Hispanic borrowers, government officials hailed it as the largest fair-lending settlement in history.

But, in fact, the banking giant has the right to a massive discount on the payout. Thirty-five percent of the settlement is deductible. That means Bank of America could wind up saving $117 million on its tax bill.
