George and Aimee are married. George has wage income of $228,000, and Aimee has a sole proprietorship that generated net income of $91,200. They also have interest and dividend income of $22,800. Compute any NIIT and additional Medicare tax they owe for the current year.

Respuesta :

The NIIT and additional Medicare tax that George and Aimee owe for the current year will be $866.40 and $622.80 respectively.

Net Investment Income Tax [NIIT] will be calculated as:

= 3.8% × Interest and Dividend Income

= 3.8% × $22800

= 0.038 × $22800

= $866.40

Income of George and Aimee will be:

= $228000 + $91200

= $319200

Additional Medicare tax will be:

= 0.9% × ($319200 - $250000)

= 0.9% × $69200

= 0.009 × $69200

= $622.80

Note that for the married couples that file jointly, an additional Medicare tax is made when there is an excess of $250,000.

In conclusion, the NIIT and additional Medicare tax will be $866.40 and $622.80 respectively.
