Tax Cut Could Be 4000 For Some
Washington AP reports the tax bill would mostly aid lower incomes while two narrow benefits boost upper middle class gains. A family earning 27,600 to 35,000 with two working parents and 4,800 in child care could save nearly 4,000 versus 1974. A 2,000 tax credit for a new 40,000 home, plus a broader child care deduction up to 4,800, boosts net savings. Dependent credits at 30 per child add 120 for a four-person family, while rebates offer at least 100 and up to 200 for larger bills. Low income workers face refundable credits and higher standard deductions benefit those not itemizing. Singles gain 300 more and couples 600 more tax-free.
