Dividend and Long-Term Capital Gain Tax Rates for 2013 As a result of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, the tax treatment for qualified dividends and long-term capital gains will be somewhat different for 2013 (and future years) than it was for 2012. 0%, 15%, and 20% Tax Rates Just like before, any qualified dividends and long-term capital gains that fall in the 15% tax bracket or below will not be taxed. (edit...ha ha ha) And, just like before, any qualified dividends and long-term capital gains that fall in the 25%-35% tax brackets will be taxed at a 15% rate. What’s new is that any qualified dividends and long-term capital gains that fall in the new 39.6% tax bracket (which kicks in when your taxable income is above $400,000 if single and $450,000 if married filing jointly) will be taxed at a 20% rate. obliviousinvestor.com

Every body unless your income is lower(some percent of the poverty level income) then it is actually zero. If your income is higher than 250k as an individual or 400k as a couple then you have an additional .9 percent from ACA As I understand it. BWDIK Bob Edit you have a more complete answer than I know .LOL
