Tax reform bill eyed for broad cuts and higher standard deduction
Kansas higher education voices warn a House tax reform plan could raise college costs and reduce charitable giving. The proposal would lower rates for pass through entities, raise standard deduction to 12200 for individuals and 24400 for couples, and cut or remove many itemized deductions including student loan interest and classroom supply expenses. Critics say the changes may hurt colleges, students, and retraining efforts, while supporters claim overall tax cuts and simplification. Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock notes Jenkins' office expects issues to be resolved before final passage.
