Impact of higher individual federal tax rates

Description

Abstract: Media outlets have focused a great deal of attention on the topic of increased individual federal tax rates.

This article discusses tax rates under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
