(2) Method of prescribing tables

The table which under paragraph (1) is to apply in lieu of the table contained in subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e), as the case may be, with respect to taxable years beginning in any calendar year shall be prescribed-

(A) by increasing the minimum and maximum dollar amounts for each rate bracket for which a tax is imposed under such table by the cost-of-living adjustment for such calendar year,

(B) by not changing the rate applicable to any rate bracket as adjusted under subparagraph (A), and

(C) by adjusting the amounts setting forth the tax to the extent necessary to reflect the adjustments in the rate brackets.

(B) the CPI for the calendar year 1992.

(4) CPI for any calendar year

For purposes of paragraph (3), the CPI for any calendar year is the average of the Consumer Price Index as of the close of the 12-month period ending on August 31 of such calendar year.

(5) Consumer Price Index

For purposes of paragraph (4), the term "Consumer Price Index" means the last Consumer Price Index for all-urban consumers published by the Department of Labor.

(6) Rounding

(A) In general

If any increase determined under paragraph (2)(A), section 63(c)(4), section 68(b)(2) or section 151(d)(4) is not a multiple of $50, such increase shall be rounded to the next lowest multiple of $50.

In the case of a married individual filing a separate return, subparagraph (A) (other than with respect to subsection (c)(4) of section 63 (as it applies to subsections (c)(5)(A) and (f) of such section) and section 151(d)(4)(A)) shall be applied by substituting "$25" for "$50" each place it appears.

(7) Special rule for certain brackets

(A) Calendar year 1994

In prescribing the tables under paragraph (1) which apply with respect to taxable years beginning in calendar year 1994, the Secretary shall make no adjustment to the dollar amounts at which the 36 percent rate bracket begins or at which the 39.6 percent rate begins under any table contained in subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e).

(B) Later calendar years

In prescribing tables under paragraph (1) which apply with respect to taxable years beginning in a calendar year after 1994, the cost-of-living adjustment used in making adjustments to the dollar amounts referred to in subparagraph (A) shall be determined under paragraph (3) by substituting "1993" for "1992".

.02 Unearned income of minor children taxed as if parent's income (the "kiddie tax").

(1) Section 1(g) provides that the tax on the net unearned income of a child under the age of 14 is computed at the marginal rate of the child's parent. Under §1(g)(4)(A)(ii), net unearned income generally equals unearned income less the sum of (I) the amount in effect for the tax year under §63(c)(5)(A), plus (II) the greater of the amount described in (I) or certain itemized deductions.

(2) The amount in effect for tax years beginning in 1995 under §63(c)(5)(A) is $650. See section 3.04(2) below. Accordingly, for tax years beginning in 1995 net unearned income will generally equal unearned income less the greater of $1,300 or $650 plus certain itemized deductions.

.03 Earned income tax credit

(1) Section 32(a)(1) provides an earned income tax credit amount for certain taxpayers with one child, two or more children, or no children. For tax years beginning in 1995, the "maximum amount of the credit" is calculated by multiplying the "earned income amount" by the "credit percentage" as follows:


 
Type of TaxpayerCredit PercentageEarned Income AmountMaximum Amount of the Credit
1 child 34   $6,160 $2,094
2 or more children 36   $8,640 $3,110
no children  7.65 $4,100 $  314

(2) Section 32(a)(2) provides for the phaseout of the earned income tax credit. The amount of the reduction in the maximum amount of the credit caused by the phaseout is calculated by multiplying the "phaseout percentage" by the amount by which the taxpayer's adjusted gross income (or, if greater, earned income) exceeds the "threshold phaseout amount." For tax years beginning in 1995, the "phaseout percentages," the "threshold phaseout amounts," and the "completed phaseout amounts" are as follows:


 
Type of TaxpayerPhaseout PercentageThreshold Phaseout AmountCompleted Phaseout Amount
1 child 15.98 $11,290 $24,396
2 or more children 20.22 $11,290 $26,673
no children  7.65 $ 5,130 $ 9,230

(3) The Internal Revenue Service will prescribe tables showing the amount of the earned income tax credit for each type of taxpayer.

.04 Standard deduction.

(1) The following adjusted standard deduction amounts are prescribed in lieu of the amounts set forth in §63(c)(2) with respect to tax years beginning in 1995.


 
Filing StatusStandard Deduction
Married Individuals Filing Joint Returns and Surviving Spouses $6,550
Heads of Households $5,750
Unmarried Individuals (Other Than Surviving Spouses and Heads of Households) $3,900
Married Individuals Filing a Separate Return $3,275

(2) Under §63(c)(5) for tax years beginning in 1995, the standard deduction for an individual who may be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer for a tax year beginning in the calendar year in which the individual's tax year begins, cannot exceed the greater of (A) $650 or (B) the amount of the individual's earned income.

(3) Under §63(f) for tax years beginning in 1995, the additional standard deduction amounts for the aged and for the blind are $750 for each. These amounts are each increased to $950 if the individual is also unmarried and not a surviving spouse.

.05 Overall limitation on itemized deductions.

(1) Section 68 provides that the amount of itemized deductions otherwise allowable for the tax year shall be reduced by the lesser of (1) 3 percent of the excess of adjusted gross income over the "applicable amount," or (2) 80 percent of the amount of certain itemized deductions otherwise allowable for the tax year.

(2) The "applicable amount" for tax years beginning in 1995 is $114,700 ($57,350 in the case of a separate return by a married individual within the meaning of §7703).

.06 Qualified transportation fringe.

(1) Section 132(f) provides an exclusion from gross income for certain employer-provided transportation referred to as a "qualified transportation fringe." A "qualified transportation fringe" means any of the following: transportation in a commuter highway vehicle between the employee's residence and place of employment, any transit pass, and qualified parking. Section 132(f)(2)(A) limits the exclusion for the aggregate of the transportation in a commuter highway vehicle and the transit pass to $60 per month (the "$60 vehicle/transit" limitation). Section 132(f)(2)(B) limits the exclusion for qualified parking to $155 per month (the "$155 parking" limitation).

(2) For tax years beginning in 1995, the "$60 vehicle/transit" limitation is $60 and the "$155 parking" limitation is $160.

.07 Income from United States savings bonds for taxpayers who pay qualified higher education expenses.

(1) Section 135 provides an exclusion of income from the redemption of United States savings bonds for taxpayers who pay qualified higher education expenses. Section 135(b)(2) provides for the phaseout of the exclusion. The amount of the reduction in the exclusion caused by the phaseout is calculated by multiplying the amount otherwise excludable by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the excess of the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income over the threshold amount ($60,000 for joint returns or $40,000 for others) and the denominator is $30,000 for joint returns or $15,000 for others.

(2) For tax years beginning in 1995, the amounts of modified adjusted gross income above which the phaseout of the exclusion begins and the amounts at which the benefit is completely phased out ("completed phaseout amounts") are as follows:


 
Type of TaxpayerThreshold Phaseout AmountCompleted Phaseout Amount
Code §1(a) $63,450 $93,450
Others $42,300 $57,300

.08 Personal exemption.

(1) Section 151(b) generally allows a taxpayer an exemption for himself or herself. Section 151(c) generally allows a taxpayer additional exemptions for dependents as defined in §152. The personal exemption for tax years beginning in 1995 is $2,500.

(2) Section 151(d)(3) provides for the phaseout of the tax benefit of the personal exemptions allowed by §151. The reduction in the amount of personal exemptions caused by the phaseout is calculated by reducing the total amount of the personal exemptions by 2 percent for each $2,500 increment (or portion thereof) of adjusted gross income in excess of a threshold phaseout amount. For tax years beginning in 1995, the "threshold phaseout amounts" and the "completed phaseout amounts" are as follows:


 
Type of TaxpayerThreshold Phaseout AmountCompleted Phaseout Amount After
Code §1(a) $172,050 $294,550
Code §1(b) $143,350 $265,850
Code §1(c) $114,700 $237,200
Code §1(d) $ 86,025 $147,275

.09 Insubstantial benefit limitations for contributions associated with charitable fund-raising campaigns.

(1) Section 513(h)(1)(A) provides that, in the case of certain exempt organizations, the term "unrelated business income" does not include activities relating to the distribution of "low cost articles" (as defined in §513(h)(2)) if the distribution of such articles is incidental to the solicitation of charitable contributions.

(2) Section 3 of Rev. Proc. 90–12, 1990–1 C.B. 471, as amplified by Rev. Proc. 92–49, 1992–1 C.B. 987, and as modified by Rev. Proc. 92–102, 1992–2 C.B. 579, provides guidelines for determining the deductible amount of contributions under §170 when the contributors receive something in return for their contributions. The guidelines provide that insubstantial benefits received by the contributor (in the context of a charitable fund-raising campaign) are disregarded, which makes the contribution fully deductible under §170. The guidelines further provide the following three alternative limitations on what are insubstantial benefits:

(a) The fair market value of all the benefits received is not more than 2-percent of the contribution, or $50 (the "$50 benefit" limitation), whichever is less;

(b) The contribution is $25 (the "$25 payment" limitation) or more, and the only benefits received by the donor in return during the calendar year have a cost, in the aggregate, of not more than a "low cost article" under §513(h)(2); or

(c) In connection with a request for a charitable contribution, the charity mails or otherwise distributes free, unordered items to patrons, and the cost of such items (in the aggregate) distributed to any single patron in a calendar year is not more than a "low cost article" under §513(h)(2).


(3) For tax years beginning in 1995, the "$50 benefit" limitation is $66, the "$25 payment" limitation is $33, and the "low cost article" limitation is $6.60.

.10 Luxury automobile excise tax.

(1) Section 4001(a) imposes an excise tax on the first retail sale of any passenger vehicle to the extent the price exceeds $30,000 (the "$30,000 amount"). Section 4003(a) imposes an excise tax on the installation of parts or accessories on a passenger vehicle within six months of the date after the vehicle was first placed in service, to the extent the price of all parts and accessories, including installation, and the price of the vehicle exceed the "$30,000 amount."

(2) The "$30,000 amount" for calendar year 1995 is $32,000.

Sec. 4. Computation of inflation adjustments

.01 Section 1(f)(1) provides that not later than December 15 of each calendar year, the Secretary shall prescribe inflation-adjusted tax rate tables that apply in lieu of the tax rate tables in §1 with respect to tax years beginning in the succeeding calendar year.

Under §1(f)(3), the inflation adjustment for a calendar year is the percentage (if any) by which the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the preceding calendar year exceeds the CPI for the calendar year 1992. However, §1(f)(7)(A) provides that in prescribing the inflation adjustments for the 36 percent and 39.6 percent tax rate brackets, the preceding calendar year's CPI is compared with the CPI for the calendar year 1993. For purposes of computing the inflation adjustment, §1(f)(4) defines the CPI as the average of the 12 monthly CPIs for the 12-month period ending on August 31 of such calendar year. Under §1(f)(5), the CPI is that for all-urban consumers published by the Department of Labor.

Section 1(f)(2)(A) provides that the inflation adjustment is reflected in the tax rate tables by increasing the minimum and maximum dollar amounts for each rate bracket. Under §1(f)(6), an adjusted bracket amount is "rounded down" to the nearest multiple of $50 ($25 in the case of married individuals filing separately).

.02 Section 1(g)(4) uses the limitation on the standard deduction for certain dependents under §63(c)(5)(A) in computing the "kiddie tax." That limitation is adjusted for inflation under §63(c)(4). The inflation adjustment computation under §63(c)(4) is described below in section 4.04.

.03 Section 32(i) provides that the "earned income amounts" and "phaseout amounts," which limit the earned income tax credit, are adjusted for inflation under the method described in §1(f)(3), except that the preceding calendar year's CPI is compared with the CPI for the calendar year 1993. Under §32(i)(2), an adjusted amount is rounded to the nearest multiple of $10 (or, if the adjusted amount is a multiple of $5, it is increased to the next highest multiple of $10).

.04 Under §63(c)(4), the standard deduction amounts (including the limitation for certain dependents and the additional standard deduction amounts for the aged and for the blind) are adjusted for inflation under the method described in §1(f)(3), except that the preceding calendar year's CPI is compared with the CPI for the calendar year 1987. Under §1(f)(6), an adjusted amount is "rounded down" to the nearest multiple of $50 ($25 in the case of the basic standard deduction for married individuals filing separately).

.05 Section 68(b)(2) provides that the "applicable amount" for the overall limitation on itemized deductions is adjusted for inflation under the method described in §1(f)(3), except that the preceding calendar year's CPI is compared with the CPI for the calendar year 1990. Under §1(f)(6), the adjusted "applicable amount" is "rounded down" to the nearest multiple of $50 ($25 in the case of married individuals filing separately).

.06 Section 132(f) provides that the limitation on the amount of the exclusion from gross income for a qualified transportation fringe is adjusted for inflation under the method described in §1(f)(3). See section 4.01 above. Under §132(f)(6)(B), an increased amount that is not a multiple of $5 is "rounded down" to the next lowest multiple of $5.

.07 Section 135(b)(2)(B) provides that the dollar amount at which the phaseout of the exclusion (of income from the redemption of United States savings bonds for taxpayers who pay qualified higher education expenses) begins is adjusted for inflation under the method described in §1(f)(3). The preceding calendar year's CPI is compared with the CPI for the calendar year 1992. The adjusted dollar amount is rounded to the nearest multiple of $50 (if the adjusted figure is a multiple of $25, it is increased to the next highest multiple of $50) under §135(b)(2)(C).

.08 Section 151(d)(4)(A) provides that the personal exemption amount is adjusted for inflation under the method described in §1(f)(3), except that the preceding calendar year's CPI is compared with the CPI for the calendar year 1988. The adjusted exemption is "rounded down" to the nearest multiple of $50 under §1(f)(6).

Section 151(d)(4)(B) provides that the "threshold amounts" at which the phaseout of the tax benefit of the personal exemptions begins are adjusted for inflation under the method described in §1(f)(3), except that the preceding calendar year's CPI is compared with the CPI for the calendar year 1990. Under §1(f)(6), an adjusted "threshold amount" is "rounded down" to the nearest multiple of $50 ($25 in the case of married individuals filing separately).

.09 Section 513(h)(2)(C) provides that the maximum cost of a "low cost article" is adjusted for inflation under the method described in §1(f)(3), except that the preceding calendar year's CPI is compared with the CPI for the calendar year 1987.

Rev. Proc. 90–12 provides for the adjustment of the "low cost article" and the "$25 payment" limitations in that revenue procedure as provided under §513(h)(2)(C). The "$50 benefit" limitation in that revenue procedure is adjusted in the same manner.

.10 Section 4001(e) provides that the "$30,000 amount" threshold for the excise tax on a luxury automobile in §§4001(a) and 4003(a) is adjusted for inflation. The adjustment, before rounding, is the excess of (A) the "$30,000 amount" increased by the method described in §1(f)(3), except that the preceding calendar year's CPI is compared with the CPI for the calendar year 1990, over (B) the dollar amount in effect under §4001(a) for the calendar year. Under §4001(e)(1)(B) the adjusted "$30,000 amount" is "rounded down" to the nearest multiple of $2,000.

Section 4001(e)(1) further provides that the adjusted and rounded amount shall apply to the calendar year subsequent to the year on which the cost of living calculations are based. This means that the inflation adjustment factor for the $30,000 amount for tax years beginning in 1995 is computed by comparing the CPI for calendar year 1993 with the CPI for the calendar year 1990.

To further the objective of obtaining balanced budgets in the near future, Congress by this action, recognizes the importance of taking all reasonable means to restrain Government spending and urges the President to declare his accord with this objective."
