SUMMARY



Synopsis of Bill



This bill would add interest to the list of income items a taxpayer may request the payor to withhold.



Significant Issues



This provision would put interest and pension recipients on the same footing with wage and salary recipients and is a "taxpayer convenience" issue.



FISCAL IMPLICATIONS



No fiscal impact is projected because the amounts remitted by interest payors are expected to offset quarterly estimated payments of personal income taxes.
