4 QUICK RECAP W-2 Reporting New Medicare Tax FSAs Employee Notice of Exchange
5 TIMELINE OF HEALTH CARE REFORM Changes taking place in 2013 : Increased Medicare tax for high-earning workers and self-employed taxpayers For tax years beginning after December 31, 2012, an additional 0.9% of Medicare tax applies to wages received with respect to employment in excess of: $250,000 for joint returns; $125,000 married taxpayers filing a separate return; and $200,000 in all other cases. The additional 0.9% also applies to self employment income in excess of the above figures. Employer s only responsible for withholding on employee wages. Example: Mr. and Mrs. Jones have wages of $300,000 and $275,000 respectively. The Medicare withholding was $4,800 and $4,213 respectively and calculated as follows: 1. $300,000 X 1.45% + $50,000($300,000-$250,000 Joint threshold) X 0.9% = $4, $275,000 X 1.45% + $25,000($275,000-$250,000 Joint threshold) X 0.9% = $4,213
6 TIMELINE OF HEALTH CARE REFORM Changes taking place in 2013 (continued) : On the joint return total wages are $575,000 which when multiplied by 0.9% create an additional tax of $2,925 less $675 already withheld makes an additional amount of Medicare tax due of $2,250. Should also be noted that the additional 0.9% is just employee tax, no employer contribution and in relation to self employment income tax the allowable above the line deduction does not include any portion of the 0.9% increase.
7 TIMELINE OF HEALTH CARE REFORM Changes taking place in 2013 (continued): Surtax on unearned income of higher income individuals For tax years beginning after December 31, 2012, an unearned income Medicare contribution tax is imposed on individuals, estates and trusts. For an individual, the tax is 3.8% of the lesser of either (1) net investment income or (2) the excess of modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) over the threshold amount which are the same thresholds as described under the Medicare wage tax increase on prior slide. MAGI does not include tax exempt bonds, veteran benefits and excluded gain from the sale of a residence. Example: For 2013, a single taxpayer has net investment income of $100,000 and MAGI of $220,000. The taxpayer would pay a Medicare contribution tax only on the $20,000 amount by which his MAGI exceeds his threshold amount of $200,000 since that is less than his net investment income of $100,000. Medicare contribution would be $20,000 X 3.8% = $760. Potentially taxpayers could get hit with Medicare tax on excess wages as well as investment income.
8 TIMELINE OF HEALTH CARE REFORM Changes taking place in 2013 (continued): Net investment income is defined as the sum of gross income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties and rents (unless derived from active trade or business which taxpayer is active participant in and not passive). Higher threshold for deducting medical expenses For tax years beginning after December 31, 2012, unreimbursed medical expenses will be deductible by taxpayers under age 65 only to the extent they exceed 10% of adjusted gross income (AGI). For taxpayers reaching the age of 65 before the close of tax year, a 7.5% floor applies through Starting with tax years ending after December 31, % threshold applies to all.
9 PCORI FEE PATIENT-CENTERED OUTCOMES RESEARCH INSTITUTE FEE EFFECTIVE DATE Applies to policy and plan years ending after October 1, 2012 and before October 1, 2019 For calendar-year policies/plans, the fees would apply for calendar policy/plan years 2012 through 2018
10 PCORI FEE PATIENT-CENTERED OUTCOMES RESEARCH INSTITUTE FEE WHO HAS TO PAY Fully insured plans: most insurance carriers will pay this fee for its insured plans and a load will be included in their premium. An associated HRA and/or qualifying FSA are considered self-insured plans, which therefore must be paid by the employer /plan sponsor Self-funded plans: Self-funded plans must report on and pay this fee
11 PCORI FEE PATIENT-CENTERED OUTCOMES RESEARCH INSTITUTE FEE HOW MUCH IS THE FEE? Year 1 - $1 x number of covered individuals Year 2 - $2 x number of covered individuals Year 3 through Year 7 the applicable dollar amount is indexed based on increases in the projected per capita amount of the National Health Expenditures
