New Medicare and investment taxes for high-income taxpayers

Taxmageddon is about to befall us all. Not only are the favorable rates implemented by the Bush Administration about to expire 1/1/13 but there are new Medicare and investment taxes Obama has burdened us with to pay for Obamacare.

Regarding the new Medicare and investment taxes note the following;

  • Effective January 1, 2013 high-income taxpayers will be subject to additional taxes on earned income at a rate of 0.9%.
  • Investment income earned after January 1, 2013 will now be subject to a new 3.8% tax for high-income taxpayers.
