Filing status of a federal taxpayer has an immediate impact on the tax rate applied to taxable income. Consider a taxpayer, whose filing status is Single, with a taxable income of $50,000. Per the 2010 Tax Table, the tax liability would have been $8,675, for an average tax rate of 17.35 percent.
Escheat /áµ»sËtÊiËt/ is a common law doctrine that transfers the property of a person who died without heirs to the crown or state. It serves to ensure that property is not left in limbo without recognized ownership.
(The escheated section will only appear if a check has been moved to the escheatment process during the reporting period.) As a result of this process, units will no longer report outstanding checks for escheatment to Church headquarters at the end of the year.
