Request for ordinary income tax article

[edit]

You could put a request in on WikiProject Taxation Article requests. I saw your changes and I wasn't familar with that term but I guess it comes down to capital gains and everything else. I thought maybe stating "Personal income tax rates" may be a better title for the retitled section then "Ordinary income tax rates". The article created would need to be something that we could actually create an article on and not just a definition of "Income that does not qualify as a capital gain - wages, interest, dividends, and net income from a business..." as Wikipedia is not a dictionary.

Well Ordinary income tax rates are defined by IRS. Basically IRS defines two types, Ordinary and capital gains (short term capital gains are the same as ordinary, so the distinction cited here Capital gains#Long term vs. short term is one of those obsolete redundancies that make the law confusing). Succinctly put, ordinary income derived from wages is subject to FICA tax, whereas many other types of income such as capital gains, rents, royalties, dividends, interest are not. Yet all are "income tax". And the 7.65% (or 15.3 if self employed) FICA tax is the killer. Also, with the AMT issues on the burner, this distinction now probalby needs to be clarified. Thanks.

Also, I made the change here [1]
Seems you a bit about it - why don't you create the article. :-) Go for it - just click on that red link and start typing. Start with a definition as above and then we can break it down into different aspects. Add a {{tax-stub}} tag at the bottom of the article and a {{WikiProject Taxation}} tag to the talk page.

A little help please?

[edit]

talk:Taxing and Spending Clause They want to move it under General Welfare Clause. Also, since I kind of re-wrote it around New Year's I've been hoping to the article reviewed and get it re-graded under the wiki-tax project... Foofighter20x (talk) 03:44, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
