Top Ten Things To Know About The 3.8% Tax



There has been a lot of talk recently about the 3.8% tax that is part of the Affordable Health Care Act and how it will affect real estate transactions when it goes into effect in 2013.
The tax itself is complicated and will not affect all real estate transactions.  Rather, when the legislation becomes effective, it may impose a 3.8% tax on some (but not all) income from interest, dividends, rents (less expenses), and capital gains (less capital losses).  Below is a publication from the National Association of Realtors with a breakdown of the top ten things you'll need to know about the new tax.



Of course, each situation will be unique.  Below is a link to a more comprehensive look at the tax which includes some examples of how it may be applied.


As always, please feel free to contact my office with any questions you may have.
