Morasco proposes simpler West Virginia tax forms
Grafton legislator Samuel A Morasco proposes the Piggyback Income Tax Bill of 1977 to let residents use their federal return to complete the state form. The plan would copy net income from federal returns and deduct state differences, potentially creating a one page form and saving printing costs.
