New Tax Bill Aims To Ease Burden On Large Families
The measure replaces the tax schedule with a flat $500 personal exemption per taxpayer and dependent, easing taxes for large families while raising the load for childless couples. It preserves the $1,500 exemption for armed services members and introduces a withholding option for low earners. Taxpayers under $5,000 in wages with minimal other income may use a withholding receipt, having employers list dependents and the local tax collector compute the final bill.
