Oklahoma's personal income tax would be phased out over a 10- year period under legislation being developed by a Tulsa-area lawmaker. State Rep. David Derby, R-Owasso, said his proposal would not require raising other rates such as property and sales taxes or require cuts to core government services. Derby is the latest of several lawmakers who have called for the elimination of the personal income tax, saying it would make the state more competitive.
Brooke Pauley and Rob Rosano in their commentary of Jan. 28 and Mike Basile in his commentary of Jan. 22 promoted giving our younger citizens and new college graduates special West Virginia personal income tax breaks. The proposal from the Charleston Regional Chamber of Commerce "Brains for Business" legislative program would provide citizens under 40 a $500 per year tax credit on interest paid on student loan debt and further provide that the first $25,000 of earned income would be exempt from state income taxes for the first two years after college graduation.

And there is no question that these proposed changes are need-based.

The majority of international students are considered to be nonresident aliens under the US Internal Revenue Code. There are many differences between the US income tax system and the systems of other countries.

Tax preparers should familiarize themselves with the current tax requirements and compliance rules for federal income tax reporting with respect to foreign students attending US colleges and universities. In most cases, a nonresident alien is taxed only on US-source income. All intern...

In the most recent fiscal year, 74,229 companies filed corporate income tax returns with the comptroller's office, while 157,496 filed a different type of return which showed that their earnings had been passed through to owners or stakeholders -- and would be subject to the personal income tax.
Ever since the Reagan and Thatcher tax-rate reductions began the process of tax competition, nations have been racing to lower rates in hopes of attracting - or retaining - jobs and investment. Since 1980 average top personal income tax rates in the developed world have dropped about 26 percentage points and corporate tax rates more than 21 points.

Many U.S. cities and towns have a personal income tax, and so should New Haven. As a city resident who works in New Haven, I have many co-workers who live out of town and constantly complain about New Haven. They are making a decent living here, then running to the suburbs, never spending one red cent here. Let's tax them 1 percent and help our budget and keep our city workers working.
New York State Tax Law imposes a personal income tax for a part-year resident individual based on the individual's taxable income that is derived from New York sources. The New York State Legislature recently enacted Senate Bill S7561, which amended the rules under section 639 of the Tax Law to address the situation when a partner or S corporation shareholder changes domicile or residency during the tax year. Under the new rules, taxpayers should recognized that, absent a direct accounting for each item of partnership or S corporation income and expenditure, the proration of items earned and incurred by the partnership or S corporation is required and most accurately reflects when the items were earned or incurred.
