*Includes Medicare Surtax
1 Medicare Surtax: 3.8% on the lesser of net investment earnings (including capital gains) or the amount over the threshold ($250k for Married; $200k for Single)
If your deductions are large, it is possible to have a MAGI over the threshold and be subject to the surtax even though you are in the lower income tax brackets.
