Proposal: 19.6
(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. The proposal would: (a) 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; (b) set the thresholds for the personal exemption phaseout and limitation on itemized deductions to $250,000 of AGI (married) and $200,000 (single),
indexed for inflation after 2009; (c) impose a 20 percent rate on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in the top two brackets, extend the 0 and 15
percent capital gains rates for others, repeal the 8 and 18 percent rates for assets held more than 5 years, and allow qualified dividends to be taxed at capital gains
rates; (d) limit the value of itemized deductions to 28 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.

(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. The proposal would: (a) 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; (b) set the thresholds for the personal exemption phaseout and limitation on itemized deductions to
$250,000 of AGI (married) and $200,000 (single), indexed for inflation after 2009; (c) impose a 20 percent rate on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in the top two brackets, extend the 0 and 15 percent capital
gains rates for others, repeal the 8 and 18 percent rates for assets held more than 5 years, and allow qualified dividends to be taxed at capital gains rates; (d) limit the value of itemized deductions to 28 percent.

(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. The proposal would: (a) 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; (b) set the thresholds for the personal exemption phaseout and limitation on itemized deductions to
$250,000 of AGI (married) and $200,000 (single), indexed for inflation after 2009; (c) impose a 20 percent rate on capital gains and qualified dividends for taxpayers in the top two brackets, extend the 0 and 15 percent capital
gains rates for others, repeal the 8 and 18 percent rates for assets held more than 5 years, and allow qualified dividends to be taxed at capital gains rates; (d) limit the value of itemized deductions to 28 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

(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.
