** Important Changes to the
Individual Income Tax Bulletins for 2001 and 2002

Pages 11, 12, and 61: The 2001 General Assembly enacted legislation to eliminate the marriage penalty by increasing the standard deduction for married filers to twice the amount allowed single filers. The increase was to be phased in over a two-year period beginning in 2002. The legislation also increased the tax credit for children from $60 per child to $75 per child in 2002.

The 2002 General Assembly enacted Senate Bill 1115 which delays the increased standard deduction for 2002 to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2003. The bill also delays the increase in the child credit to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2003.

You should consider these changes when preparing 2002 individual income tax returns. When using the standard deduction charts on page 11 and the worksheet on page 12 of these Bulletins, you should use the standard deduction amounts for 2001. Under # 11. Credit for Children on page 61, the tax credit per child for 2002 is $60 instead of $75.
