Years later, in response to various court rulings declaring the income tax unconstitutional, Congress passed the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment, which took effect in 1913, specifically authorizes direct taxes on income and is the basis for the federal income tax Various Income Taxes Personal Income Tax The best-known income tax is the tax that is paid on personal income. Personal income can include wages, interest income and dividends. In the U.S., the personal income tax is a progressive tax, meaning that the more money you make the higher percentage of your income you will pay in taxes. For example, in 2009 the first $8,350 of taxable income is taxed at a 10 percent rate, while income over $372,950 is taxed at a 35 percent tax rate. Capital Gains Capital gains or losses are income or losses that you incur from investments in property or goods. The rate capital gains are taxed at depends on whether they are long-term or short-term capital gains. Long-term gains are those that you get from investments you have held for at least a year. Long-term gains are usually taxed at a maximum of 15 percent. Corporate Income Taxes Companies that make a profit in the U.S. are responsible for paying income taxes. According to the Tax Foundation, the combined federal and state corporate taxes in the U.S. are 39.1 percent in 2009, one of the highest rates in the world. Since individuals who receive dividends from these companies have to pay taxes on the dividends as well, some feel that dividends are unfairly subjected to double taxation. Social Security and Medicare Taxes Know together as FICA, or Federal Insurance Contributions Act, taxes, your pay is subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes. For individuals who are employed by an employer, these taxes are split between the employer and the employee. For 2009, the Medicare tax is 2.9 percent so the employer and the employee each pay 1.45 percent. The Social Security tax is 12.4 percent so the employer and employee each pay 6.2 percent. The Social Security tax is only charged on the first $106,800 of your income. Self-employment Taxes If you are self-employed, you are responsible for paying the total Social Security and Medicare taxes on your income instead of splitting these taxes with your employer, so you are responsible for paying the entire 15.3 percent. There are two taxes breaks associated with self-employment taxes. First, the 15.3 percent is only charged on 92.35 percent of your income. Second, half of what you pay in self- employment taxes is deductible from your taxable income when you pay your personal income tax. 13 Income Tax Returns Forms BIR FORM 1700 Annual Income Tax Return for Individuals Earning Purely Compensation Income (Including Non-Business/Non-Profession Income) Description This return shall be filed by every resident citizen deriving compensation income from all sources, or resident alien and non-resident citizen with respect to compensation income from within the Philippines,
