Template talk:Federal capital gains and dividend taxation in the United States from 2008 forward

There are now two templates, this one and TaxRateTables. I prefer TaxRateTables, as this lists the actual tax brackets for reference, and has the NII tax as a footnote because it does not match specific table rows. Regardless, we should merge the two templates and use only one by default. Grabiner 17:05, 19 January 2013 (CST)

The new tax law does not line up capital gains and qualified dividend thresholds with the tax brackets, which will make it hard to use this template for reference. The rate increases from 15% to 20% at $425,800 for singles, $479,000 for married, which is in the middle of the 35% tax bracket. (In addition, the 0% to 15% boundary is off the tax bracket boundary by $100 for singles, $200 for married.)

^^^ The above paragraph was added by Grabiner 09:52, 24 December 2017‎. I propose creating a second table similar to what's been done for the tax rate tables. See: Template talk:TaxRateTable. Long-term gains have been split into 3 categories.

We could transclude the 2018+ tax rate tables into here. The current 2008-2017 table could be shown as a second table. The reader then would see both the 2018+ and 2008-2017 tables. --LadyGeek 11:31, 31 December 2017 (EST)
