This bill creates a new Disability Care Providers Fund to support organizations that serve individuals with developmental disabilities. It allows New York state taxpayers to voluntarily contribute money to this fund by making an optional election on their personal income tax return, though these contributions do not reduce the amount of tax owed.

This bill proposes to gradually lower New York personal income tax rates for residents over a ten-year period starting in 2026. It directly affects married couples filing jointly, surviving spouses, and heads of households by adjusting the tax brackets and rates they pay based on their income. The legislation phases in higher income thresholds for the lowest tax bracket while simultaneously reducing the percentage tax applied to income between $500,000 and $2.155 million. Additionally, the bill removes specific rules regarding the recapture of certain tax benefits. These changes are designed to reduce the overall tax liability for eligible New York residents as the new rates take effect each year.

Additionally, the bill establishes new tax brackets for individual filers, including married couples, heads of households, and unmarried individuals, effective for tax years beginning after 2029. The legislation also authorizes cities with over one million residents to adopt separate taxes on lump-sum income distributions and provides a framework for an additional surcharge on city taxable income.

This bill establishes a cost of living adjustment mechanism for New York state income taxes, ensuring that tax brackets and rates remain aligned with inflation over time. It directly affects New York state taxpayers by automatically updating the specific dollar thresholds and tax rates used to calculate income tax liability. The law applies to taxable years beginning after 2026 and before 2033, with provisions for future adjustments starting after 2032. All tax thresholds and rates specified in the bill will be periodically modified based on the official cost of living adjustment formula, preventing tax brackets from eroding purchasing power due to inflation.
