Tax cut

In the spring, President Bush signed a tax cut approved by Congress. Under that cut, the U.S. Treasury will send out more than $38 billion in federal income tax rebates to more than 90 million taxpayers. Other parts of the tax cut will not take effect for years to come. Providence Journal personal finance columnist Neil Downing has been explaining how cuts work in a series of columns listed below.
