A provision of the Code allows a taxpayer a deduction for Federal income tax purposes for some state and local income taxes paid (with an overall limit of $10,000). Does this provision eliminate the effect of multiple taxation of the same income? Why or why not? In this connection, consider the following:
a. Taxpayer, an individual, has itemized deductions that are less than the standard deduction.
b. Taxpayer is in the 10% tax bracket for Federal income tax purposes. The 32% tax bracket.
