Note: The link that brought you here contains custom configuration options that differ from the "default" version of the calculator. If you'd like to use the calculator in its default state with the default policy options, click here.

Note that the "full expiration" scenario still includes an AMT patch for 2013. The goal with this calculator is to show the effects of the Bush and Obama tax cuts, and we consider AMT parameters to be somewhat of a separate issue.
