(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Includes the following provisions: (1) maintain 10-percent bracket; (2) retain 25-percent bracket (don't revert to 28%); (3) maintain maximum child
tax credit (CTC) at $1,000 per child and retain partial refundability; (4) continue current parameters for child and dependent care credit (35% maximum credit, $3,000 maximum qualified
expenses per child, indexed from 2005, and 20% minimum credit); (5) maintain current marriage penalty relief (married filing jointly standard deduction and width of 15% bracket both twice
levels for single filers; extended plateau for earned income tax credit [EITC] on joint returns); (6) allow both EITC and CTC as credits against AMT; and (7) use AGI in place of modified AGI
for EITC phase-out.
(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
(4) 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.
