(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal would; a) extend parts of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, including marriage penalty relief, the 10, 15, 25, 28 and a portion of the 33 percent brackets, and the 0%/15% rate structure on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in those brackets; b) tax capital gains and qualified dividends at 20% for taxpayers in the top two brackets and repeal the 8%/18% rates for assets held more than 5 years; c) set the threshold for the 36 percent bracket at $200,000 (single), $250,000 (married), or $225,000 (head of household), indexed for inflation after 2009, less the standard deduction and one personal exemption (two if married); d) set the thresholds for PEP and Pease at $250,000 of AGI (married) and $200,000 (single), indexed for inflation after 2009; e) extend the $1,000 child tax credit, $3,000 (not indexed) refundability threshold, and allow against the AMT; f) extend the maximum credit amount for the child and dependent care tax credit; g) increase the phase‐out range and eliminate the 60‐month limit on the deductibility of student loan interest payments. (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% 19,829, 40% 38,180, 60% 66,963, 80% 114,669, 90% 167,030, 95% 236,580, 99% 643,739, 99.9% 2,961,299.
(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. 16‐Mar‐11

(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.

(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal would; a) extend parts of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, including marriage penalty relief, the 10, 15, 25, 28 and a portion of the 33 percent brackets, and the 0%/15% rate structure on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in those brackets; b) tax capital gains and qualified dividends at 20% for taxpayers in the top two brackets and repeal the 8%/18% rates for assets held more than 5 years; c) set the threshold for the 36 percent bracket at $200,000 (single), $250,000 (married), or $225,000 (head of household), indexed for inflation after 2009, less the standard deduction and one personal exemption (two if married); d) set the thresholds for PEP and Pease at $250,000 of AGI (married) and $200,000 (single), indexed for inflation after 2009; e) extend the $1,000 child tax credit, $3,000 (not indexed) refundability threshold, and allow against the AMT; f) extend the maximum credit amount for the child and dependent care tax credit; g) increase the phase‐out range and eliminate the 60‐month limit on the deductibility of student loan interest payments. (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% 13,627, 40% 25,365, 60% 42,896, 80% 70,063, 90% 101,583, 95% 145,293, 99% 386,366, 99.9% 1,826,435.
(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. 16‐Mar‐11

(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal would; a) extend parts of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, including marriage penalty relief, the 10, 15, 25, 28 and a portion of the 33 percent brackets, and the 0%/15% rate structure on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in those brackets; b) tax capital gains and qualified dividends at 20% for taxpayers in the top two brackets and repeal the 8%/18% rates for assets held more than 5 years; c) set the threshold for the 36 percent bracket at $200,000 (single), $250,000 (married), or $225,000 (head of household), indexed for inflation after 2009, less the standard deduction and one personal exemption (two if married); d) set the thresholds for PEP and Pease at $250,000 of AGI (married) and $200,000 (single), indexed for inflation after 2009; e) extend the $1,000 child tax credit, $3,000 (not indexed) refundability threshold, and allow against the AMT; f) extend the maximum credit amount for the child and dependent care tax credit; g) increase the phase‐out range and eliminate the 60‐month limit on the deductibility of student loan interest payments. (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% 13,627, 40% 25,365, 60% 42,896, 80% 70,063, 90% 101,583, 95% 145,293, 99% 386,366, 99.9% 1,826,435.
(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. 16‐Mar‐11
