(1) Calendar year. Baseline is pre-EGTRRA law. Includes major individual income and estate tax provisions in EGTRRA 2001, JGTRRA 2003, WFTRA 2004,
TIPRA 2006, PPA 2006, TIPA 2007, and ESA 2008. Assumes that the AMT exemption is $62,550 for married couples filing jointly and $42,500 for unmarried
individuals, indexed for inflation after 2007, and that personal non-refundable credits are allowed regardless of tentative AMT. Cost of the tax cuts is financed with a
3.2 percent levy on the cash income of all non-dependent tax units.
(2) Tax units with negative cash income are excluded from the lowest income class but are included in the totals. For a description of cash income, see
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/TaxModel/income.cfm
(3) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(4) After-tax income is cash income less: individual income tax net of refundable credits; corporate income tax; payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare); and
estate tax.
(5) Average federal tax (includes individual and corporate income tax, payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and the estate tax) as a percentage of average
cash income.

the AMT exemption is $62,550 for married couples filing jointly and $42,500 for unmarried individuals, indexed for inflation after 2007, and that personal non-refundable credits are allowed regardless of tentative AMT. Cost of
the tax cuts is financed with a 3.2 percent levy on the cash income of all non-dependent tax units.
(2) Tax units with negative cash income are excluded from the lowest income class but are included in the totals. For a description of cash income, see
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/TaxModel/income.cfm
(3) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(4) After-tax income is cash income less: individual income tax net of refundable credits; corporate income tax; payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare); and estate tax.
(5) Average federal tax (includes individual and corporate income tax, payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, and the estate tax) as a percentage of average cash income.
