Taxation of Benefits

Description of Proposed Provision:
Tax Reform for Individuals: Starting in 2013, modify personal income tax by: (a) establishing two-brackets with marginal rates of 15 and 27 percent separated at $51,000 (CPI indexed); (b) creating a non-refundable credit for low-income tax filers age 65 and older; and (c) treating capital gains as regular income. Tax all Social Security benefits at the applicable marginal rate (15 or 27 percent) less a non-refundable credit of 7.5 percent. Base revenue to OASDHI on the net marginal rates of 7.5 and 19.5 percent, with 40 percent of revenue dedicated to HI.
