Federal refunds are on the way to more than 2.8 million people who paid taxes on unemployment benefits that no longer apply due to changes made by the American Rescue Plan Act.
The law, passed by Congress in March, excludes the first $10,200 of unemployment benefits from household income for those who earned less than $150,000 in adjusted gross income in 2020.
Because tax season was already underway when that change happened, some people may be due money. Others who owe taxes or other debts may have the money applied to those balances instead.
Opinion: Taxes paid by Americans | The Dickinson Press
Congress and the President are working on an infrastructure bill that would increase federal taxes paid by business and individuals to pay for the increased spending they propose. How far can they go before the people reject the increase in taxes and how much federal debt can our country incur before we become bankrupt?
In looking back on the history of federal taxes in the United States, there are many taxes that were not established in the beginning of our country and some that were increased and decreased over time. The country did not need any federal government programs as the states took care of their own needs. The Constitution gives the power to the Congress to impose taxes to the general public. The first income tax was established during the Civil War.
Corporate Taxes Will Rise One Way or Another - WSJ
The cat-and-mouse game of global corporate-tax optimization has been going on for decades amid successive failed efforts at reform. But this time looks likely to be different.
Over the weekend, finance ministers from the Group of Seven leading nations agreed on the outlines of a global tax deal , including a minimum tax of at least 15% and some reallocation of taxation rights. It raises the odds of a global accord later this summer that could cost multinational giants an additional $50 billion to $100 billion annually , according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Group of Seven accord on taxes a fair and reasonable policy for everyone (Editorial) -
Begin any discussion of taxation with that statement, and ask those involved to disagree. If they do, suggest that they make their case reasonably. Don't bother to wait too long, though, because it can't be done.
Even a strict libertarian who believes in the smallest government imaginable knows well that there's got to be some degree of taxation. To provide for the common defense, surely. To build roads and maintain bridges and the like. Even an exceedingly small bureaucracy doesn't come free.
Dover property taxes likely to increase in 2021
With COVID-19-related economic struggles still impacting Dover, the City Council is expected to increase property taxes this year to balance the budget.
The Dover City Council reviewed the fiscal year 2021 budget last week, which recommends a property tax increase of 5.5 cents per $100 of assessed value on taxable properties to generate about $2 million in revenue.
At 5.5 cents, taxes for a home with an assessed value of $150,000 would increase by about $82.50 and for a home valued at $250,000 would increase by about $137.50.

It's time for Corporate Earth to pay up. Meeting in person for the first time since the pandemic begun, finance ministers of seven of the planet's richest big nations struck a common-sense deal on a tax issue that has divided them for years. The result is a step toward improving global equity, and perhaps a prelude to resolving knottier, multilateral problems.
Factbox: Corporate taxes, vaccines on the agenda for Biden foreign trip | Reuters
President Joe Biden begins a foreign trip this week that will include summits with the leaders of the G7 major economies and NATO along with one-on-one meetings with the presidents of Russia and Turkey.
Washington reversed course last month and backed negotiations over waivers for intellectual property protections at the World Trade Organization to speed vaccine production in developing countries, much to the chagrin of Germany and Britain.
Letters to the editor: Trident; Democracy; taxes; climate
I woke up this morning with a Schnappsidee, the great German expression for the kind of inspiration that could (usually) only come from a few glasses too many of, well, schnapps. I invited Cedar, my hardworking New England wife, to a Monday-morning coffee at the Trident.
Once Covid hit, of course, no more Trident for us. Now 15 months later it was time to return. It's hard to describe how happy we both felt doing so. A beautiful late-spring day. Boulder's front range, the Flatirons, looking more beautiful than ever. No more masks. And the Trident! Crystal, our favorite barista, showed up with a big smile and even bigger hugs for us both. She is a co-owner now. Just before the pandemic hit, the aging owner had sold the Trident to its mainly young staff.
