      Interesting! I had never heard that definition before. It’s always been a single rate across the board with deductions still included whenever I’ve heard it discussed. I’ll believe it though. Investopedia, while focused on the greediest of society, at least knows economics.

      edit: weird words changed. swipe keyboard got the best of me.

        I’ve never heard deductions being allowed. Maybe a few but for the most part it’s about an equal rate across everyone or at least a few small brackets.

        Different plans define income differently. If we are trying to fix the astern income should be everything. Selling an investment home, dividends, selling stocks, w2. Etc.
