INCOME TAX COMPARISON

These calculations show the state income tax of various size families, at various salary levels, under present rates and under those in Senate Bill No. 1. These calculations were made assuming present provisions of the federal income tax, the filing of a joint return, and the use of the standard deduction, which is 5% under present rates and 10% under the proposed bill. The amount of tax due would be considerably lessened if the 1969 Tax Reform Act is passed by Congress. Standard deductions would be increased from 10% to 15% under that Act.
