Passed in the Senate 24 to 14 (details)
To prohibit requiring taxpayers or tax preparers to file single business tax returns electronically for the 2003 tax year only (April 15, 2004 returns).

Passed in the House 101 to 0 (details)
To concur with the Senate-passed version of the bill, which was rendered moot by not receiving immediate effect, meaning the bill would not go into effect until 2005, even though it only applies to filings for the 2003 tax year.
