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



TRD indicates 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



TRD estimates no fiscal impact because the amounts remitted by interest payors are expected to offset quarterly estimated payment of personal income taxes.
