Tax cut eases marriage penalty for working couples
The 1981 tax cut reduces the marriage penalty starting 1982, with deductions rising to 5 percent of the lower spouse income in 1982 and 10 percent in 1983, potentially saving a joint $35,000 income couple over $1,000. Indexation begins 1985 to adjust brackets and deductions for inflation, reducing bracket creep and easing tax bills for some families.
