The Detroit Free Press reports on the new big tax on the middle class:
Say a single taxpayer who typically has an adjusted gross income of $80,000 but in a given year has a $400,000 net gain from the sale of a vacation home.No wonder Nancy Pelosi didn't want you to see what was in the bill until she passed it!
The 3.8% tax rate would apply to $280,000 in this example. The additional 3.8% tax applies to the amount of your adjusted gross income that exceeds the $200,000 threshold for singles and the $250,000 for joint-filers.
In this example, the tax owed would be $10,640.
The new tax received a little bit of buzz but many are not aware of the change ahead.
