Stacy Tyree says tax-on-tips refund let her add husband to her health insurance
Summary
Stacy Tyree, a Greene County resident, said a refund she attributed to a "no tax on tips" change allowed her to enroll her husband as a dependent on her health insurance after years of owing taxes. Her testimony was personal testimony; no formal action or policy debate appears in the transcript.
Stacy Tyree, a Greene County resident, told the panel that this year she received a tax refund that allowed her to enroll her husband as a dependent on her health insurance. "I was thrilled to be receiving a refund," she said, attributing the refund to a change she described as "no tax on tips."
Tyree said she has been married 21 years and has three children, and that she entered the cosmetology field six years ago "with the hope of positively impacting my family." She said that in prior years she had filed taxes and ended up owing money, but that this year’s refund made a concrete difference for her household.
"The refund enabled me to enroll my husband as a dependent on my health insurance," Tyree said. In the transcript she added that, for the first time in his life, "he is fully conferred on medical," a phrase that appears to be a transcription artifact but which Tyree used to indicate improved access to medical coverage.
The remarks are presented here as personal testimony. The transcript contains no record of votes, motions, policy debate, or response from officials about the tax change or coverage enrollment.
