Municipal Bonds May Be Exempt from Health Reform 3.8% Tax on Investment Income |
Article Submitted by: Sam Cass
The shock waves from the recently passed health reform bill are still making their way around the country and the investment world, but one item that may be of interest to readers is how the investment income tax will work. According to several sources, the health care plan will levy a 3.8% tax on individuals who earn more than $200,000 annually and joint filers reporting more than $250,000. The tax would apply to income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, capital gains and rents. But according to several sources, the new legislation excludes income from municipal bonds.
I'm digging through the legislation now trying to find the specific reference and will update the article when I find it.
