I applaud Gov. LePage's recent budget proposal. Our state faces serious fiscal challenges in the coming two years, and Gov. LePage has put forward a proposal that actually increases funding to education by $63 million and invests in roads and bridges without borrowing. Along with this, it will bring much needed sanity to our welfare system, with true welfare reforms. On top of these accomplishments, it will provide $203 million in tax relief to Maine families in the form of larger personal income tax deductions, elimination of the marriage penalty, and a lower tax rate for tens of thousands of Maine families. It also provide incentives to employers to invest and create jobs in Maine.

Questions raised almost immediately about Gov. Sam Brownback's proposal to reduce the state's personal income tax rates -- while eliminating some popular deductions, including charitable donations, home mortgage interest and the Earned Income Tax Credit -- indicated the plan would receive some tweaking before it arrived back at his desk for a signature. Now, the tweaking has been replaced by what perhaps can best be described as a complete overhaul at the hands of conservative House Republicans. Their participation is a clear indication that they don't think they can sell the governor's plan at this time, and that they intend to keep traveling down the road toward lower income taxes.
In addition to increasing the threshold for contractors that can use the completed contract method, the American Job Builders Tax Reform Act of 2011 would eliminate the alternative minimum tax for firms that use the method. The alternative minimum tax is an alternative to a regular income tax that provides an individual or corporation with a flat exemption but no personal exemptions or deductions. Parties must pay whichever is greater - the AMT rate or the regular income tax rate.

Utah charities, advocates for homeownership and for the poor and other "tax stakeholders" pleaded with a state tax reform committee Thursday not to take away long-treasured deductions from state personal income tax returns. But several members of the Tax Reform Task Force and flat tax advocates say charities -- including The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- homeowners, seniors and families with dependent children really should not fear a state flat-rate income tax with no deductions. They cited studies and history that show people still give to charities, still buy homes, still support the arts. The poor will also still receive aid and people will still have children even if those targeted tax deductions are eliminated.
A significant number of Social Security recipients face a "marriage tax" as the result of provisions within the tax code. Currently, Social Security benefits may be subject to federal income taxation based on threshold amounts that were established many years ago and that are not automatically adjusted for inflation. Three examples are presented based on 2011 federal tax rates and standard deductions and personal exemption. Social Security benefits are includable in adjusted gross income (AGI) based on fixed threshold amounts. To determine how much of these benefits are includable in AGI, one-half of Social Security benefits are added to other taxable income and tax-free interest. If this total exceeds the threshold amounts, up to 85% of total Social Security benefits may be added to AG...
The rules on allowable income tax deductions on persons who have suffered losses on personal or nonbusiness property, and income-producing or business property were discussed. The losses may be caused by fire, storms or floods. The deductions are allowed under the Internal Revenue Code Section 165 and filed under Form 1040. The factors to consider in computing the allowable deduction are an assessment of the reduced value of damaged property, the reduction of the loss by amounts recovered and the pertinent statutory limits to the aggregate loss on the tax deduction allowed.
Includes related article - CE Roundtable - Panel Discussion Chief executives and tax experts expressed their views regarding current proposals to reform the US tax system during a roundtable discussion. Everyone agreed that there is a pressing need to simplify the tax system because compliance is becoming more expensive than ever before. One estimate even put compliance cost at a whopping $1 trillion. Participants focused their discussion on two reform proposals. One is the flat tax system advocated by Dick Armey which aims to remove all loopholes and deductions, introduce a 17% flat tax, and eliminate withholding, capital gains and estate taxes. The other proposal, put forward by Sens. Sam Nunn and Pete Domenici, calls for a low, flat tax on businesses that would permit unlimited dedu...
