(1) Calendar year. Baseline is the Administration's baseline (extends all of the individual income tax provisions included in 2001 EGTRRA and 2003 JGTRRA;
maintains the estate tax at its 2009 parameters; extends the 2009 AMT Patch and indexes the AMT exemption, rate bracket threshold, and phase-out exemption threshold
for inflation). Proposal extends the Making Work Pay Credit (not indexed for inflation), the Earned Income Tax Credit expansion and the Saver's credit expansion. It
creates automatic 401(k)s and IRAs and extends the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
(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.

AMT Patch and indexes the AMT exemption, rate bracket threshold, and phase-out exemption threshold for inflation). Proposal extends the Making Work Pay Credit (not indexed for inflation), the Earned Income Tax Credit
expansion and the Saver's credit expansion. It creates automatic 401(k)s and IRAs and extends the American Opportunity Tax Credit.

(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.
