No Tax Returns Plan for New York City Taxpayers
Mayor John V. Lindsay proposes a city plan exempting residents earning under 6000 dollars from filing city income tax returns. Employers have already withheld most tax, saving about 1.5 million by not pursuing minor differences. The plan relies on trust that wage earners report no additional income from interest or other sources, plus federal computer verification to catch outside income. If adopted nationally, it could affect over 38 million federal filers and reduce administrative headaches.
