MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 7, 2021 09:54 AM
From: Senator Vincent J. Hughes
To: All Senate members
Subject: Increasing the Personal Income Tax (PIT) Poverty Exemption
 
In the near future, I will be reintroducing Senate Bill 220 from last session which increases the poverty exemption for the Personal Income Tax (PIT) by $1,000 per dependent.

Under the proposal, the current exemption of $9,500 would be increased to $10,500 for an individual and to $34,000 (up from $32,000) for a married couple with two dependent children.

Previous cosponsors of this legislation include: Brewster, Browne, Costa, Fontana, Haywood, Sabatina, Scavello, Schwank, Tartaglione, A. Williams and L. Williams. 

Please join me in cosponsoring this legislation.
