      <title>Avoid the New 3.8% Medicare Surtax: IRA Club Announces New Strategy</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">IRA Club announces a strategy to legally avoid the 3.8% Medicare Surtax.</p><p>Chicago, IL -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 08/09/2012 --  The IRA Club has announced a strategy where you can easily avoid the new 3.8% Medicare Surtax on net unearned investment income by making your investments inside a Self Directed IRA.<br />
<br />
To help pay for the Affordable Health Care Act starting January 1, 2013, Congress has created another new tax: the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="3.8 Medicare surtax" href="http://www.iraclub.org">3.8 Medicare surtax</a>; this one on net investment income. The rate will be 3.8%.<br />
 <br />
According to Dennis Blitz of the IRA Club, "People will be subject to the 3.8% Medicare surtax if they are among the "new rich" (Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) over $200,000 for an individual filer or AGI over $250,000 for joint filers)". The 3.8 Medicare surtax will be computed by adding all the items below and multiplying by 3.8%:<br />
<br />
Net Capital Gains <br />
plus<br />
Interest Income<br />
plus<br />
Dividends Income<br />
plus<br />
Any Annuities income<br />
plus<br />
Royalties Income<br />
plus<br />
Rent income  <br />
Times 3.8%<br />
<br />
Investment income is included when the above computation is made. Example: if a person is a joint filer and they, along with their spouse earn $220,000 (less than the threshold amount when the tax would kick in), plus they earn $35,000 net investment income, they would be charged the <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="3.8 Medicare surtax" href="http://www.iraclub.org">3.8 Medicare surtax</a> because the investment income pushed them over the threshold amount.  <br />
<br />
Is there any good news? YES! If a person earns their investment income inside an IRA the 3.8% Medicare surtax does not apply. <br />
<br />
Let&apos;s assume that someone has a Self Directed IRA and the annual cost to maintain the account is $280. <br />
<br />
Now let&apos;s assume they make just one transaction in that account which earns just $15,000. The savings based on the savings of the 3.8 Medicare Surtax is $570. This does not include the benefit of deferred income tax that IRA accounts enjoy. <br />
<br />
The IRA Club located in Chicago, IL, helps people throughout the country setup and legally administrate all types of self directed IRA&apos;s.  The IRA Club was founded by Dennis Blitz who gained recognition during a thirty year career as a leader in the field of financial education for financial professionals.<br />
