Illinois to allow deduction of public utility taxes
SPRINGFIELD AP Illinoi sans who itemize deductions on their federal income tax returns will have something extra to subtract this year officials say. Governor Thompson announced Wednesday an IRS ruling allows deduction of public utility taxes. The new deduction could mean a $32 million savings for Illinois taxpayers. State Revenue Department spokeswoman Helen Adorian said confirmation came Wednesday. The ruling applies to 1984 tax returns. Thompson said taxes on natural gas electricity and telephone service should be deductible as they are similar to the general sales tax and imposed at a 5 percent rate. Mrs Adorian said taxpayers using the sales tax deduction tables could increase the amount by 10 percent to include the utility tax deduction.
