Rep John L Dutly of Dubuque proposes a 1965 bill to allow Iowa state taxes on liquor and cigarettes to be deductible on federal returns. He estimates a single smoker could save about 16.20 annually, and a couple sharing weekly drinks might deduct 23.40 yearly, without changing state revenue. The move hinges on clarifying that consumer taxes are deductible, an interpretation not yet allowed by the IRS.
