Number of AMT Taxpayers (millions). Baseline: 16.6
Proposal: 16.6
(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal would: increase the maximum credit rate to 35 percent; increase the eligible expenses to $3,000 for one child and
$6,000 for two or more children; increase the start of the credit rate phasedown to $15,000 of AGI (not indexed for inflation); and allow the credit regardless of
tentative AMT.
(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) The cash 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 2009 dollars): 20% $17,709, 40% $34,668, 60% $63,846, 80% $104,388, 90% $167,146, 95% $210,251, 99% $555,037, 99.9% $2,351,648.
(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) After-tax income is cash income less: individual income tax net of refundable credits; corporate income tax; payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare); and estat
tax.
(6) 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.

(3) The cash 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 2009 dollars): 20% $11,939, 40% $23,027, 60% $39,580, 80% $66,854, 90% $96,556, 95% $135,474, 99% $347,747,

(3) The cash 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 2009 dollars): 20% $11,939, 40% $23,027, 60% $39,580, 80% $66,854, 90% $96,556, 95% $135,474, 99% $347,747,
99.9% $1,413,195.
(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) 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.
(6) 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. Proposal would: increase the maximum credit rate to 35 percent; increase the eligible expenses to $3,000 for one child and $6,000 for two or more children; increase the start of the credit
rate phasedown to $15,000 of AGI (not indexed for inflation); and allow the credit regardless of tentative AMT.
(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

Note: Elderly tax units are those with either head or spouse (if filing jointly) age 65 or older.
(1) Calendar year. Baseline is current law. Proposal would: increase the maximum credit rate to 35 percent; increase the eligible expenses to $3,000 for one child and $6,000 for two or more children; increase the start of the credit
rate phasedown to $15,000 of AGI (not indexed for inflation); and allow the credit regardless of tentative AMT.
(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) The cash 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 2009 dollars): 20% $11,939, 40% $23,027, 60% $39,580, 80% $66,854, 90% $96,556, 95% $135,474, 99% $347,747,
99.9% $1,413,195.
(4) Includes both filing and non-filing units but excludes those that are dependents of other tax units.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.
