The preferential dividend and capital gains tax cuts established under the Jobs Growth Tax Relief and Reconciliation Act of 2003 are extended another two years under TIPRA, and are now scheduled to expire at the close of 2010.
Under these rules, the current maximum tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains and qualified dividends is 15 percent. This maximum rate is reduced to 5 percent for taxpayers in the 10 percent and 15 percent income tax brackets. In 2008, and now extended for 2009 and 2010, the preferential tax rate for those in the 10 percent and 15 percent tax brackets drops to 0 percent.
