For the 10th year in a row, Wolters Kluwer, CCH has been selected by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for its comprehensive sales tax rate and taxability tables to help millions of taxpayers across the country prepare their tax returns. With access to updated information from thousands of tax jurisdictions provided by Wolters Kluwer, CCH, tax filers can determine whether they'll save more by deducting state and local sales taxes they've accrued during the year instead of taking standard or itemized tax deductions.
The figures in the tables represent an average of consumer expenditures, according to family size and income, for every ZIP Code in the country – saving people time from collecting and organizing sales receipts all year long. Information is generated from several Wolters Kluwer, CCH workflow tools, including Sales Tax Office, the comprehensive tax calculation system combining leading tax rate and taxability content with jurisdiction boundary information and sophisticated logic. Additional information also comes from the powerful IntelliConnect tax and accounting research platform.
Wolters Kluwer, CCH tax data for state and local jurisdictions also supports the IRS's online Sales Tax Deduction Calculator – available to taxpayers for filing 2014 income tax returns. In addition, the company is also providing the IRS with data related to the taxability rules for more than 500 Bureau of Labor Statistics spending categories.
