The Taxes Going Bill
Keeps your state taxes from going up next year
Income tax, state; standard deduction and earned income tax credit.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill stops a massive tax hike by permanently keeping the higher amount of income you are allowed to earn before paying state taxes.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Right now, the rules that save you money on your state taxes are set to expire soon. If they do, the amount of income you can earn tax-free will drop drastically. That means you would pay taxes on a lot more of your hard-earned money. This bill steps in to make those tax breaks permanent. It is a huge win for working families because it keeps your money in your pocket instead of letting the state quietly raise your taxes.
