Bill overview
The Youth Tax Fairness Act of 2019 aims to simplify the taxation of unearned income for children. It proposes to treat certain types of income, such as distributions from qualified disability trusts, military survivor benefits, and Alaska Permanent Fund dividends, as earned income. This change would lower the tax rates applied to this income, potentially reducing the ‘kiddie tax’ for families with children receiving these benefits. The bill also modifies rules related to the alternative minimum tax and establishes effective dates for the changes.
