The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5049, seeks to amend chapter 229 of the general statutes to permit taxpayers to make additional voluntary payments on their personal income tax returns. This change would allow individuals to pay more than the amount they owe, providing them with the flexibility to contribute extra funds if they choose.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language that explicitly allows for these additional voluntary payments. The intent behind this legislation is to give taxpayers the option to pay more than their tax liability, potentially aiding in their financial planning and supporting state revenue.
