Qualified Dividends
Defined as those received from domestic and qualified foreign corporations (with some exceptions
such as stock holding period, consult your tax advisor to determine which dividends qualify), and will
be taxed as follows for 2015 and subsequent years: 0% for taxpayers in the 10% and 15% tax brackets;
15% for taxpayers in the 25% through 35% tax brackets; and 20% for taxpayers in the 39.6% tax bracket.
Any amount that the taxpayer elects to treat as investment income to support an investment interest
deduction (e.g. margin interest) is not considered qualified dividend income.
In 2015, higher income taxpayers with adjusted gross income (AGI) in excess of the following
thresholds may experience reductions to allowable itemized deductions and a phase-out of personal
exemptions: $309,900 for married filing jointly or surviving spouse; $154,950 for married filing
separately; $284,050 for head of household; $258,250 for single.
Additional Tax on Unearned (Investment) Income
For 2015 and subsequent years, a 3.8% “surtax” (Unearned Income Medicare Contribution Tax) will
apply to the lesser of a taxpayer’s net investment income (generally interest, dividends, capital gains,
annuity income, rents, royalties, and passive business income, less allowable investment expenses) or
the amount the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income exceeds the applicable threshold: $250,000
for married filing jointly or surviving spouse; $125,000 for married filing separately; $200,000 for all
other filing categories.

Social Security Annual Earnings Limits
FICA (Social Security & Medicare) Tax
Self-Employment Tax
Taxation of Social Security Retirement Benefits
Individuals are eligible to receive permanently reduced Social Security retirement benefits between
age 62 and their applicable full retirement age. Retirement benefits may be further reduced in
years that an individual’s earned income exceeds annual earning limits until the individual reaches
full retirement age. For those receiving benefits before their full retirement age, $1 in benefits
will be deducted for each $2 earned above the annual limit. In 2015, this limit is $15,720. In the
year that full retirement age is reached, $1 in benefits will be deducted for each $3 earned above
the 2015 limit of $41,880. This limit applies only to the months prior to the month in which full
retirement age is reached. After full retirement age is attained, full benefits can be received with
no limit on earnings.
› FICA (Federal Insurance Contribution Act) Tax
For 2015, a tax is imposed on an employee’s compensation at a rate of 7.65%, which is a
combination of a 6.20% Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Tax (OASDI) and a 1.45%
Medicare Tax. For 2015, the OASDI Tax is computed on the first $118,500 of compensation/earned
income. The maximum employee OASDI Tax liability for 2015 is $7,347.00 (6.20% of $118,500).
The 2.90% Medicare Tax is computed on the taxpayer’s entire compensation with no cap.
In 2015, higher income taxpayers with earned income above the following thresholds will pay
an additional Hospital Insurance Tax (Medicare) at a rate of 0.9% on earned income above the
threshold amount: $250,000 for married filing jointly; $125,000 for married filing separately;
$200,000 for all other filing categories.
Under current law, Social Security recipients may be subject to federal (and possibly state)
income tax on 85% of their annual Social Security income. For taxpayers with “provisional” income
(Adjusted Gross Income, excluding Social Security benefits, plus tax-exempt interest, plus 50% of
Social Security benefits) less than $25,000 ($32,000 for married tax payers filing jointly), Social
Security benefits are income tax free. For taxpayers with provisional income between $25,000
and $34,000 ($32,000 and $44,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly) up to 50% of Social
Security benefits may be subject to income tax. For taxpayers with provisional income in excess
of $34,000 ($44,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly) up to 85% of Social Security benefits
may be subject to income tax.
For 2015, a tax is imposed on self-employed individuals at a rate of 15.30%, which is a combination
of a 12.40% Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Tax (OASDI) and a 2.90% Medicare Tax.
For 2015, the OASDI Tax is computed on the first $118,500 of self-employment income/earned
income. The maximum self-employed OASDI Tax liability for 2015 is $14,694.00 (12.40% of
$118,500). The 2.90% Medicare Tax is computed on the taxpayer’s entire self-employment income
with no cap.

• Minimum compensation for plan eligibility is $600 in 2015.
• Contributions may be made into a SEP plan through the filing date of employer’s tax return,
including extensions.
*Compensation is limited to $265,000 in 2015.
Kiddie Tax
The Kiddie Tax rules apply to the unearned income of dependent individuals under age 19 and
all dependent, full-time students under age 24. In 2015, the child’s first $1,050 of unearned
income is not taxed. The next $1,050 of unearned income is taxed at the child’s tax rate. The
child’s unearned income in excess of $2,100 is taxed at the parents’ highest tax rate.
Annual Gift Tax Exclusion
The annual gift tax exclusion for 2015 is $14,000. Direct payments of educational or medical
costs do not count against the annual gift tax exclusion.
There is a special provision that allows a contributor to accelerate five years of gifting when
funding a 529 College Savings Plan on behalf of a beneficiary. For example, an individual
currently may contribute as much as $70,000 ($140,000 for a married couple) in a given year
to a 529 Plan, instead of waiting to contribute $14,000 in each of five years. This uses the
individual’s annual gifting exclusion to that beneficiary for five years.
• There are no Adjusted Gross Income limits on the conversion of IRA and qualified plan assets
to a Roth.
• Any amount in a SEP or SIMPLE IRA may also be converted to a Roth IRA; however, a
conversion from a SIMPLE IRA may be made only after the 2-year period beginning on
the date the individual first participated in any SIMPLE IRA maintained by the individual’s
employer.
• The conversion is subject to income tax in the year of the conversion (reported on Form 8606),
but is not subject to the 10% premature distribution penalty.
• Intra-plan Roth conversions from vested tax deferred balances are available within qualified
retirement plans (401(k), 403(b), 457) that provide a Roth option, when allowed by the plan’s
controlling document.
*The Maximum combined employee/employer contribution is $53,000; $59,000 with a catch-up contribution.
*Generally, employers must either match employee contributions dollar-for-dollar up to 3% of the employee’s
compensation or make a contribution of 2% of compensation for all eligible employees, whether participating or not.

10. 9
Gift & Estate Taxes
The estate tax is imposed on the decedent’s taxable estate (gross estate less deductions).
The gift tax is based on the cumulative value of current and prior gifts (after a specified
exclusion). For individuals dying and gifts made after 12/31/2014, the unified gift and estate
tax rate schedule is as follows:
For gifts made in 2015, the annual exclusion amount is $14,000. For larger “taxable” gifts made
during 2015, the credit against the gift tax imposed on U.S. citizens or residents effectively
exempts the first $5,430,000 of cumulative transfers from federal gift and Generation Skipping
Taxes (GST). Assets gifted have a “carry-over” cost basis equal to the lesser of the original
owner’s basis or the market value on the date of the gift.
The credit (referred to as an exclusion) for estates of individuals dying in 2015 effectively
exempts $5,430,000 from estate and Generation Skipping Taxation. Assets in an estate
acquire a cost basis equal to the value on the date of estate valuation, often referred to as a
“stepped-up” basis.
For 2015 and subsequent years, the estate and gift tax exclusion has been made “portable,”
meaning the estate of a deceased spouse can elect to make any unused portion of the
deceased spouse’s exclusion available to the surviving spouse to be used during his or her
lifetime or at death.

Generally, a C corporation may deduct, as a business expense, all qualified long-term care
premiums paid for employees, their spouses and dependents without application of the
above limits. Such payments are not included as imputed income to the insured. These
benefits may be offered to select individuals and do not have to be made available to all
employees. Benefits paid by the insurance company to an insured are tax-free under all
circumstances.
Self-employed individuals – including sole proprietors, partners, and more than 2%
shareholders of S corporations – may deduct, as a business expense, up to 100% of eligible
premiums paid for qualified long-term care plans. Such payments are not imputed income
to the insured. Individual taxpayers who itemize deductions may be able to deduct the
lesser of the actual long-term care premiums paid or the eligible long-term care premium
amounts listed below as part of total medical expenses. This deduction is subject to
age-based limits, which are adjusted annually based on increases in the medical care
component of the Consumer Price Index.

a 3% tax-free investment.
*Taxable equivalent yields for the 35% and 39.6% tax brackets reflect the additional 3.8% surtax on unearned income,
which commences in the 33% tax bracket for most filers.
