(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal would limit the value of itemized deductions, the exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance premiums, and the child
and dependent care and general business tax credits to two percent of a taxpayer's adjusted gross income. The cap would phase in for married couples with AGI between $250,000
and $500,000 and for singles and heads of household with AGI between $200,000 and $400,000, indexed for inflation after 2009.
(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.

(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal would limit the value of itemized deductions, the exclusion for employer-sponsored health insurance premiums, and the child and dependent care and
general business tax credits to two percent of a taxpayer's adjusted gross income. The cap would phase in for married couples with AGI between $250,000 and $500,000 and for singles and heads of
household with AGI between $200,000 and $400,000, indexed for inflation after 2009.
(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

(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.
