Five years ago less than 30% of the U.S. economy, represented by 16 states used combined reporting. Now including Massachusetts, over 55% of the economy will take place in states using combined reporting. Maryland lawmakers considered the proposal but failed to pass it in the 2007 special session. http://www.marylandpirg.org/news-releases/tax-and-budget/tax-and-budget-news/states-closing-tax-loophole-comprise-55-of-economy Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:59:35 -0500
