If you’ve had your head buried in the sand, or just decided you were not going to follow all the potential federal tax law changes, you’ve chosen wisely. Between the Biden Green Book proposal, the House Ways and Means Committee proposal, and the most recent Budget Reconciliation Bill released by the House Democrats this past week, the potential tax law changes have been all over the board. The deviations between the proposals seem to indicate there is still enough discontent amongst the Democratic party in D.C. to require significant changes. Unfortunately, when you follow the money, the picture starts to reveal that the taxpayers bearing the burden for the revenue are disproportionately pass-through entity owners, and not the large multinational companies and estates as many believed. The best way to understand the most recent tax proposals is to review the progression of the changes and follow the money train.
A sigh of relief was felt by investors, as the increase in capital gains from 20% to 25% does not appear in the most recent proposal for married filing joint taxpayers earning taxable income over $450,000, or $400,000 of taxable income for single filers. However, there still will be an increase to 25% and 28% for individual taxpayers with AGI over $10,000,000 and $25,000,000 respectively due to the surcharge tax.
