Source: Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center Microsimulation Model (version 0305-3A).
(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law plus the extension of the lower rates on capital gains and qualifying dividends enacted by JGTRRA. Provisions include: $5 million effective exemption
indexed for inflation after 2010; statutory rate of 15 percent on taxable estate between $5 million and $25 million and 30 percent on taxable estate greater than $25 million; repeal the state death tax
credit (and do not allow a deduction for state estate taxes paid); repeal the 5-percent surtax.
(2) Tax units with negative cash income are excluded from the lowest quintile 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. Tax units that are dependents of other taxpayers are excluded from the analysis.
(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.
