Hall Income Tax is reduced
A tax that primarily affects Tennesseans with higher incomes, has been reduced by the state legislature. The bill cuts Tennessee's Hall income tax on stock and dividend income this year and totally repeals it in 2022. About 200,000 higher income Tennesseans pay the Hall tax. Taxpayers 65 and up are exempt from the Hall tax if their total income from all sources is $68,000 or less for joint filers and $37,000 or less for single filers. In addition, the first $1,250 in taxable dividend and interest earnings for all single filers and the first $2,500 for all joint filers is tax-exempt. The tax isn’t levied on other income. The move means a loss of about $28 million in state revenue as a result of the rate cut. Local governments will loose $14 million in revenue.
