Thank you.

Thanks Gumby. This is most excellent and is being printed to put in my magic money old-fashioned 3-ring notebook under the TAX tab.

For those still working there is also a .9% Medicare tax surcharge which is on wages, compensation and self employment wages over 250k. Employers must start withholding at 200k.

I’m relieved. I paid all those “special” taxes during my w*rking years —NIIT, Medicare surcharge tax, alternative minimum tax, but not IRMAA (yet). It was one of the best feelings to be finally rid of those costs when FIREd.

Thanks Gumby for putting this together, and to the others with the updated numbers. Definitely a good tool for reference and planning purposes.

Here's an interesting trigger that I just learned today:
My disabled brother's income is $500 a month over a threshold.

As a result, he must self-pay for a PCA to the tune of about $40K annually. So being over a threshold of $6000 a year forces him to pay $40K; just doesn't seem right. If his income was $6000 lower he'd get the PCA a no cost.

I am investigating this but I'm not sure how far I can get.

Just venting; sorry if I took this on a tangent.

Eligibility for the American Opportunity Tax Credit phases out starting at $160K AGI I believe.

OP, thanks for putting this list together. I spent an insane number of hours this week trying to "thread the needle" for a Roth conversion before the EOY.

In the process, I ran across another phase out: For those with kiddos in college that have exhausted the 4 years of the AOTC, there's the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit (LLTC) that phases out for taxpayers with income between $58,000 and $68,000 (single) or $116,000 and $136,000 (MFJ). The income limits are adjusted annually for inflation.

The LLTC is 20% of qualified expenses up to a max tax credit of $2k per taxpayer or dependent per year.

I have a similar list to the OP, but mine is for HOH and a family size of 4. Note that for the ACA related items, the FPL numbers change somewhat depending on whether you live in the lower 48, Alaska, or Hawaii.
