(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Provisions include extending provisions in EGTRRA, JGTRRA, and WFTRA affecting the following: marginal tax rates; the 10-percent bracket; the child tax
credit; the child and dependent care credit; the standard deduction, 15-percent bracket, and EITC for married couples; tax rates on long-term capital gains and dividends; pension and IRA provisions
(excludes the saver's credit); expansion of student loan interest deduction (excludes other education provisions); and estate tax exemption, rates, and state death tax credit.
(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. Tax units that are dependents of other taxpayers are excluded from the analysis.
(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.
