Tax cuts begin in July for wage earners in 1982
The 8.75 percent across-the-board income tax rate cut takes effect now, but full savings appear July 1 after new withholding tables. A 20-cent weekly Social Security increase reduces take home pay temporarily. Higher earners gain more from the tax cut while also paying more to Social Security. The package includes a marriage penalty deduction and an IRA option for 40 million workers, with other measures easing child care deductions and estate taxes.
