Planning for the Fiduciary Income tax has become more challenging, for two reasons: first, the increased Income tax rates initially introduced by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which increased the highest rate for ordinary Income tax to percent and the highest capital gains tax rate for most transactions to 20 percent; second, the percent supplemental Medicare surtax under Section 1411 which, although it was part of the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, only became effective in 2013.
