(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal would (a) provide incentives for job creation, clean energy, and manufacturing; (b) provide
incentives for investment in infrastructure; (c) increase earned income tax credit for taxpayers without qualifying children by doubling maximum
credit and expanding age eligibility; (d) expand child and dependent care credit for qualifying children under 5; (e) exclude Pell Grants from
income and tax credit calculations; (f) limit the value of itemized deductions and certain other deductions and exclusions to 28 percent; (g) enact
the Fair Share Tax (“Buffett rule”); (h) impose a financial crisis responsibility fee; (i) tax carried interests (profits) as ordinary income; (j) limit
accrual in tax favored retirement accounts; (k) conform SECA taxes for professional service businesses; (l) reinstate Superfund income and excise
taxes; (m) increase tobacco excise taxes and index for inflation; (n) make unemployment insurance surtax permanent and expand FUTA base; (o)
eliminate deduction for dividends from employee stock ownership plans; and (p) simplify rules for claiming the childless EITC. For a description
of TPC's current law baseline, see:
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxtopics/Baseline-Definitions.cfm
(2) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units. Tax units with negative adjusted gross income are excluded from
their respective income class but are included in the totals. For a description of expanded cash income, see
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/TaxModel/income.cfm
(3) The income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax units.
The breaks are (in 2013 dollars): 20% $24,844; 40% $48,286; 60% $82,182; 80% $137,646; 90% $188,937; 95% $271,750; 99% $638,232; 99.9% $3,279,269.
(4) After-tax income is expanded 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
expanded cash income.

credit and expanding age eligibility; (d) expand child and dependent care credit for qualifying children under 5; (e) exclude Pell Grants from
income and tax credit calculations; (f) limit the value of itemized deductions and certain other deductions and exclusions to 28 percent; (g) enact
the Fair Share Tax (“Buffett rule”); (h) impose a financial crisis responsibility fee; (i) tax carried interests (profits) as ordinary income; (j) limit
accrual in tax favored retirement accounts; (k) conform SECA taxes for professional service businesses; (l) reinstate Superfund income and excise
taxes; (m) increase tobacco excise taxes and index for inflation; (n) make unemployment insurance surtax permanent and expand FUTA base; (o)
eliminate deduction for dividends from employee stock ownership plans; and (p) simplify rules for claiming the childless EITC. For a description
of TPC's current law baseline, see:
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxtopics/Baseline-Definitions.cfm
(2) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units. Tax units with negative adjusted gross income are excluded from their respective income class but are included
in the totals. For a description of expanded cash income, see
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/TaxModel/income.cfm
(3) The income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax units. The incomes used are adjusted for family size
by dividing by the square root of the number of people in the tax unit. The resulting percentile breaks are (in 2013 dollars): 20% $17,272; 40% $31,839; 60% $52,010; 80% $82,156; 90% $114,150; 95% $160,278;
99% $376,776; 99.9% $1,971,618.
(4) After-tax income is expanded 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 expanded cash income.

incentives for investment in infrastructure; (c) increase earned income tax credit for taxpayers without qualifying children by doubling maximum
credit and expanding age eligibility; (d) expand child and dependent care credit for qualifying children under 5; (e) exclude Pell Grants from
income and tax credit calculations; (f) limit the value of itemized deductions and certain other deductions and exclusions to 28 percent; (g) enact
the Fair Share Tax (“Buffett rule”); (h) impose a financial crisis responsibility fee; (i) tax carried interests (profits) as ordinary income; (j) limit
accrual in tax favored retirement accounts; (k) conform SECA taxes for professional service businesses; (l) reinstate Superfund income and excise
taxes; (m) increase tobacco excise taxes and index for inflation; (n) make unemployment insurance surtax permanent and expand FUTA base; (o)
eliminate deduction for dividends from employee stock ownership plans; and (p) simplify rules for claiming the childless EITC. For a description
of TPC's current law baseline, see:
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxtopics/Baseline-Definitions.cfm
(2) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units. Tax units with negative adjusted gross income are excluded from their respective income class but are included in
the totals. For a description of expanded cash income, see
http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/TaxModel/income.cfm
(3) The income percentile classes used in this table are based on the income distribution for the entire population and contain an equal number of people, not tax units. The incomes used are adjusted for family size by
dividing by the square root of the number of people in the tax unit. The resulting percentile breaks are (in 2013 dollars): 20% $17,272; 40% $31,839; 60% $52,010; 80% $82,156; 90% $114,150; 95% $160,278; 99%
$376,776; 99.9% $1,971,618.
(4) After-tax income is expanded 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 expanded cash income.
