(1) Calendar year. Current policy extends the 2009 AMT patch and indexes the AMT exemption, rate bracket threshold, and phaseout exemption threshold for
inflation; makes the 2001 and 2003 individual income tax cuts permanent and makes 2009 estate tax law permanent. The proposal would: (a) extend the higher EITC
credit value for families with 3 children and higher phase-out thresholds for married couples; (b) modify the saver's credit making it equal to 50% of the first $500 of
retirement savings ($1,000 for couples) and fully refundable; (c) create automatic 401(k)s and IRAs; (d) extend the American Opportunity Tax Credit; (e) extend the
$3,000 child tax credit refundability threshold; (f) raise the child and dependent care tax credit phase-out threshold to $85,000; (g) change the threshold for the 36percent tax bracket to $250,000 less the standard deduction and two personal exemptions for married couples filing jointly and $200,000 less the standard deduction
and one personal exemption for single filers, indexed for inflation after 2009; (h) set the thresholds for the personal exemption phase-out and limitation on itemized
deductions to $250,000 of AGI (married) and $200,000 (single), indexed for inflation after 2009;
(i) impose a 20 percent rate on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in the top two tax brackets; (j) limit value of itemized deductions to 28 percent.
Business provisions included were making the research and experimentation tax credit permanent, taxing carried interest as ordinary income, repealing LIFO,
international corporate tax reforms, and reforms affecting the tax treatment of financial institutions.
(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) The cash income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax
units. The breaks are (in 2009 dollars): 20% $19,356, 40% $37,493, 60% $65,656, 80% $111,659, 90% $161,739, 95% $226,402, 99% $599,181, 99.9% $2,727,123.
(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.

(3) The cash income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax units. The incomes used are adjusted for family size by
dividing by the square root of the number of people in the tax unit. The resulting percentile breaks are (in 2009 dollars): 20% $13,219, 40% $24,782, 60% $41,864, 80% $68,188, 90% $97,830, 95% $138,709, 99%

(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.

(1) Calendar year. Current policy extends the 2009 AMT patch and indexes the AMT exemption, rate bracket threshold, and phaseout exemption threshold for inflation; makes the 2001 and 2003 individual income tax cuts permanent
and makes 2009 estate tax law permanent. The proposal would: (a) extend the higher EITC credit value for families with 3 children and higher phase-out thresholds for married couples; (b) modify the saver's credit making it equal to
50% of the first $500 of retirement savings ($1,000 for couples) and fully refundable; (c) create automatic 401(k)s and IRAs; (d) extend the American Opportunity Tax Credit; (e) extend the $3,000 child tax credit refundability
threshold; (f) raise the child and dependent care tax credit phase-out threshold to $85,000; (g) change the threshold for the 36-percent tax bracket to $250,000 less the standard deduction and two personal exemptions for married
couples filing jointly and $200,000 less the standard deduction and one personal exemption for single filers, indexed for inflation after 2009; (h) set the thresholds for the personal exemption phase-out and limitation on itemized
(i) impose a 20 percent rate on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in the top two tax brackets; (j) limit value of itemized deductions to 28 percent. Business provisions included were making the research and
experimentation tax credit permanent, taxing carried interest as ordinary income, repealing LIFO, international corporate tax reforms, and reforms affecting the tax treatment of financial institutions.

(3) The cash income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax units. The incomes used are adjusted for family size by dividing by
the square root of the number of people in the tax unit. The resulting percentile breaks are (in 2009 dollars): 20% $13,219, 40% $24,782, 60% $41,864, 80% $68,188, 90% $97,830, 95% $138,709, 99% $361,983, 99.9%
$1,670,467.
(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.

Note: Tax units with children are those claiming an exemption for children at home or away from home.
(1) Calendar year. Current policy extends the 2009 AMT patch and indexes the AMT exemption, rate bracket threshold, and phaseout exemption threshold for inflation; makes the 2001 and 2003 individual income tax cuts
permanent and makes 2009 estate tax law permanent. The proposal would: (a) extend the higher EITC credit value for families with 3 children and higher phase-out thresholds for married couples; (b) modify the saver's
credit making it equal to 50% of the first $500 of retirement savings ($1,000 for couples) and fully refundable; (c) create automatic 401(k)s and IRAs; (d) extend the American Opportunity Tax Credit; (e) extend the $3,000
child tax credit refundability threshold; (f) raise the child and dependent care tax credit phase-out threshold to $85,000; (g) change the threshold for the 36-percent tax bracket to $250,000 less the standard deduction and two
personal exemptions for married couples filing jointly and $200,000 less the standard deduction and one personal exemption for single filers, indexed for inflation after 2009; (h) set the thresholds for the personal exemption
phase-out and limitation on itemized deductions to $250,000 of AGI (married) and $200,000 (single), indexed for inflation after 2009; (i) impose a 20 percent rate on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in the top
(i) impose a 20 percent rate on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in the top two tax brackets; (j) limit value of itemized deductions to 28 percent. Business provisions included were making the research and
experimentation tax credit permanent, taxing carried interest as ordinary income, repealing LIFO, international corporate tax reforms, and reforms affecting the tax treatment of financial institutions.
(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) The cash income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax units. The incomes used are adjusted for family size by
dividing by the square root of the number of people in the tax unit. The resulting percentile breaks are (in 2009 dollars): 20% $13,219, 40% $24,782, 60% $41,864, 80% $68,188, 90% $97,830, 95% $138,709, 99%
$361,983, 99.9% $1,670,467.
(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.
