The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) offers a series of Policy Briefs designed to provide a quick introduction to basic tax policy ideas that are important to understanding current debates at the state and federal level. Over the next two weeks, ITEP will release eight new and updated Briefs that explore various elements of the state Personal Income Tax and offer options for improving its adequacy, stability, and fairness. The new briefs this week are:
· Income Tax Simplification: How to Achieve It
· Indexing Income Taxes for Inflation: Why It Matters
· Why States That Offer the Deduction for Federal Income Taxes Paid Get it Wrong
