Tax Changes Help Paychecks Across Income Levels
The new 1971 tax changes raise the standard exemption from 625 to 650 and expand the low income allowance to reduce tax payments for low earners. The standard deduction becomes 13 percent or 1500, whichever is lower, while single filers won’t pay more than 20 percent more tax than married couples with the same income. Top earners see the maximum rate cut from 70 to 60 percent in 1971 and to 50 percent in 1972.
