** This table is part of a series of tables showing the distributional effects of moving incrementally from current policy to current law. For definitions and further
information, see “Related Tables: Moving Incrementally from Current Policy to Current Law” at
http://taxpolicycenter.org/numbers/displayatab.cfm?template=simulation&SimID=367
(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current policy (extension of the 2001-2003 tax cuts and patching AMT using 2009 parameters indexed for inflation) plus estate tax at
current law level— a 55 percent top tax rate and a $1 million exemption, not indexed). Policy is top two tax brackets raised to 36 and 39.6 percent.
(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.
