It really is happening.
The new tax, which Congress passed in 2010, affects the net investment income of most joint filers with adjusted gross income of more than $250,000 ($200,000 for single filers). Starting on Jan. 1, 2013, the tax rates on long-term capital gains and dividends for these earners will jump from their current historic low of 15% to18.8%, assuming Congress extends the current law....
The new rules present big challenges for taxpayers. But if you start thinking about them now, at least you can minimize the damage.
