Availability of Investment Tax Calculator Showing Potential Impact of the Biden Tax Proposals

EntSun News/10878622
BOSTON, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Eaton Vance Management (Eaton Vance) and Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (Parametric) announced today that the Eaton Vance Parametric Investment Tax Calculator available at eatonvance.com/mytaxrate and parametricportfolio.com/mytaxrate has been updated to enable individual investors to evaluate the potential impact on their personal income taxes if the new tax proposals announced by President Biden on April 28, 2021 are enacted into law.

As part of his American Families Plan, President Biden has proposed increasing ordinary income tax rates for individual taxpayers earning at least $400,000 to 39.6% and eliminating the preferential treatment of long-term capital gains and qualified dividends for those earning $1 million or more.

When combined with the 3.8% net investment income tax, the maximum federal tax rate on ordinary investment income would increase from 40.8% to 43.4% and the maximum federal rate applicable to qualified dividends and long-term capital gains would rise from 23.8% to 43.4%. Including state and local income taxes, individual taxpayers in 15 states and the District of Columbia would face maximum tax rates on investment income and gains of more than 50%, with applicable maximum rates reaching a high of 58.2% in New York City, 57.3% in Multnomah County, Oregon and 56.7% in California (statewide).

The Eaton Vance Parametric Investment Tax Calculator is designed to help U.S. individual taxpayers and their advisors better understand the income taxes they pay on their investment income and gains so they can make more-informed investment decisions. Based on user inputs of annual taxable income, tax filing status and place of residence, the calculator determines the total tax rate – including federal, state and local income taxes – that applies to an incremental dollar of an investor's in-state and out-of-state municipal bond interest income, U.S. Treasury interest income, other taxable interest income, qualified and non-qualified dividend income, net realized long-term and short-term capital gains, and qualified retirement plan withdrawals.  The calculator provides comprehensive coverage of the federal, state and local income taxes applicable to the investment income and gains of resident individual taxpayers across the 50 states and the District of Columbia.   As updated, the calculator also provides individual investors the opportunity to evaluate the potential impact of the Biden tax proposals on their personal income taxes.

The proposed new maximum rates are assumed to apply to all individual taxpayers whose taxable income equals or exceeds the indicated thresholds, regardless of tax filing status.  Tax rates applicable to municipal bond interest income and qualifying withdrawals from Roth IRA and Roth 401(k) retirement accounts would not change if the announced proposals are enacted. The Biden tax proposals are preliminary and subject to change, and may not be enacted into law.
