Deeper Tax Rite in 1968 Takes Shape in Washington
The 1968 tax changes include higher Social Security taxes on earnings above $6,600 and the repeal of the 1965 real estate transfer stamp tax. The stamp tax will vanish next week while Social Security payroll taxes rise to affect higher incomes, with the maximum tax rising to $343.20 for 1968 and eventually to $460.20 by 1987. The IRS will mail 1967 income tax forms this week, with returns due April 15.
