Senate Bill 486 DECOUPLING

Senate Bill 486 decouples itemizing on the federal tax return from the state in regards to itemizing deductions. The hearing before the Senate Budget & Taxation Committee on DECOUPLING bill, SB 486, is next Wednesday, February 12th. Paul Schwartz believes it will be around 1:00 and plans to testify in support of that bill. Filling the seats with supporters will help and sitting next to AARP at the witness table will also help.
