FOR THE RECORD

Clarification

AS OF JAN. 1, for 1997 returns on 1996 income, Virginia's Age Deduction Tax Credit was upped to $6,000 for those aged 62 to 64 and $12,000 for those 65 and older. An editorial Tuesday listed the previous, lower figures. The boost in the deduction, which is not means-tested, reinforces the point that it contributes to unfairness in state taxes.
