From the Times Union:
Tucked into the governor’s 2009-2010 budget proposal is a plan to levy a $10 fee for income taxes that are filed on paper rather than electronically. State budget officials believe the paper filing fee could generate $6.8 million during the next fiscal year.
In addition to the almost absurdist aspect of a tax on taxation, the proposal has led critics to wonder if the state has taken liberties in the way it promotes the move to electronic filing as a way to save on paper and processing costs.
