TABLE 5 - Section 1(j)(2)(E) – Estates and Trusts
.02 Unearned Income of Minor Children Subject to the “Kiddie Tax”. For taxable years beginning in 2024, the amount in § 1(g)(4)(A)(ii)(I), which is used to reduce the net unearned income reported on the child’s return that is subject to the “kiddie tax,” is $1,300. This $1,300 amount is the same as the amount provided in § 63(c)(5)(A), as adjusted for inflation. The same $1,300 amount is used for purposes of § 1(g)(7) to determine whether a parent may elect to include a child’s gross income in the parent’s gross income and to calculate the “kiddie tax.” For example, one of the requirements for the parental election is that a child’s gross income is more than the amount referenced in § 1(g)(4)(A)(ii)(I) but less than 10 times that amount; thus, a child’s gross income for 2024 must be more than $1,300 but less than $13,000. .03 Maximum Capital Gains Rate (§1(h), §1(j)(5)). For taxable years beginning in 2024, the maximum zero rate amounts and maximum 15 percent rate amounts under § 1(j)(5)(B), as adjusted for inflation, are as follows: Filing Status Maximum Zero Rate Amount Maximum15% Rate Amount
