The Tax Savings from Fiscal Stimulus
By Robert Carroll and Mark Robyn
The table below (Table 1) shows the tax savings for prototypical taxpayers under the major
tax provisions included in the fiscal stimulus bills as approved by the House (I .R.598) and
currently (as of this writing) under consideration by the Senate (S 350).Table 2 provides a
brief description of the major tax provisions included in the two stimulus bills.
As shown below, some taxpayers are set to receive a considerable tax cut from either of these
bills with most of the tax benefit coming from the new Make Work Pay Credit and the
American Opportunity Tax Credit, which replaces and expands the existing Hope credit for
certain higher education expenses. The Senate bill also includes a higher AMT exemption
(i.e., the so-called AMT patch).
