Well, it’s not entirely true, not entirely false.  First of all let’s understand its origins.  Congress enacted  legislation which will take effect at the beginning of 2013 in hopes of generating over $200 billion as part of the health care and Medicare overhaul plans.  It imposes a 3.8% tax on some but not all income from interest, dividends, net rental income and capital gains.

Who is impacted? Individuals with adjusted gross income of less than $200,000 can breathe easier, as can couples filing jointly with AGI under $250,000.  For the rest of you still reading, there are complicated details which will determine whether you might be affected by the new tax.

It is not our objective to offer tax advice.  We are not CPA’s – that is not our expertise.  However, we know that we have many clients who could be impacted by this legislation but are not aware of it.  Since it does not take effect until January 1, 2013, now may be the time to investigate further.  If, for example, a high-income individual is considering selling the old, highly appreciated family homestead, cottage or second home in the next few years, sooner might be better than later.  This tax alone is not a reason to sell, but might be considered in the mix with other factors.

CLICK HERE for an article and video prepared for REALTOR Magazine which may help you determine whether additional personal planning is warranted.  If you would like to receive a copy of the 11-page brochure referred to in the video, The 3.8% Tax – Real Estate Scenarios and Examples prepared by The National Association of Realtors, just get in touch with any Danberry agent.
