My thinking is that non-reg is actually getting taxed twice:
once at marginal rate because non-reg is funded w / after - tax dollars, and taxed again when it generates gains / divs / interest, etc..
Not exact matches
Suppose you expect to be taxed
at a 22 %
marginal rate once you find a job or
once you turn age 70 1/2 and start taking required minimum distributions from your retirement accounts.
When these assets become taxable all
at once, it can bump up the
marginal tax
rate, resulting in a significant tax bill.
At the simplest level, though, the point is just that planning will really occur the same way it always does, just based on
marginal tax
rates that are slightly higher
once the impact of the PEP and Pease limitation are accounted for.
And
once again, income
at that point would be subject to a 33 % tax bracket, which means the
marginal tax
rate impact of PEP is 3.2 % x 33 % = 1.06 %.
The incorporated thing - from what I understand - will only make sense
once you're past that highest
marginal tax bracket... as you're right, it (incorporated entity) gets taxed
at a high
rate.
