New Tax Law Reshapes Withholding and Taxpayer Base
The plan shifts to a pay as you owe system for wages up to 5000, making withholding equal to tax for 30 million workers starting next year. No tax due changes this year. 1944 income would be assessed by the government for those with wages under 5000. The measure adds about 150000 new filers earning 555 to 624 while reducing about 9000 from the income tax status. A flat 500 personal exemption replaces current scales, preserving the 1500 exemption for service members and adjusting childless married couples. New York state mines and quarries contribute over 80 million yearly in value.
