Tax Tables for Taxable Years Beginning in 2007

Revenue Procedure 2006–53 provided: Section 1. Purpose This revenue procedure sets forth inflation adjusted items for 2007. Section 2. Changes .01 Under § 25B eligible individuals are allowed a credit against tax equal to the applicable percentage of qualified retirement savings contributions of the individual that do not exceed $2,000. Section 833(a) of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, Pub. L. No. 109–280, 120 Stat. 780 (2006) (PPA), added § 25B(b)(3), which provides that the adjusted gross income amounts in § 25B(b) used to determine the applicable percentage for calculating the credit are adjusted for inflation. (See section 3.06 of this revenue procedure.) .02 Section 219 (a) allows individuals to deduct qualified retirement contributions for a taxable year. Section 833(b) of the PPA added § 219(g)(8), which provides that the applicable dollar amount under § 219(g)(3) used to determine the amount of reduction for the limitation on deduction for taxpayers who are active participants and for spouses who are not active participants in certain pension plans is adjusted for inflation. (See section 3.21 of this revenue procedure.) .03 Section 408A (c) provides rules for the tax treatment of contributions made to Roth IRAs. Section 833(c) of the PPA added § 408A(c)(3)(C), which provides that the applicable dollar amount under § 408A(c)(3) used to determine the dollar limit, based on modified adjusted gross income, for the contribution limit to Roth IRAs is adjusted for inflation. (See section 3.25 of this revenue procedure.) .04 Q&A 14 of Rev. Proc. 2002–41, 2002–1 C.B. 1098, provides an inflation adjustment method for the hourly rates used to determine the amounts deemed substantiated for payments made by transportation mainline pipeline construction employers under accountable plans. (See section 3.10 of this revenue procedure.) Q&A 14 is modified to read as follows: Q–14. Will the amount deemed substantiated under this revenue procedure be adjusted for inflation? A–14. Yes. For calendar years after 2006, the hourly rate will be adjusted annually for inflation under § 1(f)(3), except that the base year for such adjustment will be calendar year 2002 and any adjustment will be rounded to the nearest dollar. Any adjustment to the rates provided in this revenue procedure will be published annually. Section 3. 2007 Adjusted Items .01 Tax Rate Tables.

.02 Unearned Income of Minor Children Taxed as if Parent’s Income (the “Kiddie Tax”). For taxable years beginning in 2007, 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 $850. This amount is the same as the $850 standard deduction amount provided in section 3.11(2) of this revenue procedure. The same $850 amount is used for purposes of § 1(g)(7) (that is, 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 2007 must be more than $850 but less than $8,500. .03 Adoption Credit. For taxable years beginning in 2007, under § 23(a)(3) the credit allowed for an adoption of a child with special needs is $11,390. For taxable years beginning in 2007, under § 23(b)(1) the maximum credit allowed for other adoptions is the amount of qualified adoption expenses up to $11,390. The available adoption credit begins to phase out under § 23(b)(2)(A) for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income in excess of $170,820 and is completely phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income of $210,820 or more. (See section 3.15 of this revenue procedure for the adjusted items relating to adoption assistance programs.) .04 Child Tax Credit. For taxable years beginning in 2007, the value used in § 24(d)(1)(B)(i) to determine the amount of credit under § 24 that may be refundable is $11,750. .05 Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits. (1) For taxable years beginning in 2007, the Hope Scholarship Credit under § 25A(b)(1) is an amount equal to 100 percent of qualified tuition and related expenses not in excess of $1,100 plus 50 percent of those expenses in excess of $1,100, but not in excess of $2,200. Accordingly, the maximum Hope Scholarship Credit allowable under § 25A(b)(1) for taxable years beginning in 2007 is $1,650. (2) For taxable years beginning in 2007, a taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income in excess of $47,000 ($94,000 for a joint return) is used to determine the reduction under § 25A(d)(2)(A)(ii) in the amount of the Hope Scholarship and Lifetime Learning Credits otherwise allowable under § 25A(a). .06 Elective Deferrals and IRA Contributions by Certain Individuals. For taxable years beginning in 2007, the applicable percentage under § 25B(b) is determined based on the following amounts:

Modified Adjusted Gross Income
Joint Return Over Not Over Head of Household Over Not Over All Other Cases Over Not Over Applicable Percentage
$0 $31,000 $0 $23,250 $0 $15,500 50%
$31,000 $34,000 $23,250 $25,500 $15,500 $17,000 20%
$34,000 $52,000 $25,500 $39,000 $17,000 $26,000 10%
$52,000 $39,000 $26,000 0%

.07 Earned Income Credit. (1) In general. For taxable years beginning in 2007, the following amounts are used to determine the earned income credit under § 32(b). The “earned income amount” is the amount of earned income at or above which the maximum amount of the earned income credit is allowed. The “threshold phaseout amount” is the amount of adjusted gross income (or, if greater, earned income) above which the maximum amount of the credit begins to phase out. The “completed phaseout amount” is the amount of adjusted gross income (or, if greater, earned income) at or above which no credit is allowed.

Earned Income Amount $ 8,390 $11,790 $ 5,590
Maximum Amount of Credit $ 2,853 $ 4,716 $    428
