Thinking About Taxes in the New 1978 Reform Act
An analysis outlines how the Tax Reform Act of 1978 changes deductions and credits for individuals and businesses. It notes limits on tax shelters, foreign-income exclusions, and new incentives for historic restorations, with wage credits for welfare hires and broad shifts toward narrowing income disparities. It contrasts expert views, including Baruch College’s Peter M. Gutmann, who argues for broader rate cuts while others accuse reform of redistributing wealth.
