Poor May Owe On Income Tax
Washington reports that millions of Americans, including many very poor, will owe the government money by April 15 due to withholding vs tax rate discrepancies from the 1969 Tax Reform Act. IRS notes some filers who usually receive refunds must now send money with their returns as withholding did not match actual tax. The change removes about 5 million from tax rolls, with new thresholds for single and married filers. The issue grows when both spouses work low wages, as withholding assumed a single earner.
