<p>New Medicare Tax 2013 &#8211; How It Will Impose on Real Estate Sales:  Many of you have heard about the new Medicare Tax as part of the New Obama Health Care Law, officially called the &#8220;Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act&#8221; signed by President Obama on March 23, 2010.  And many have questions as to how it will effect investment income from rental property, as well as income from the sale of real estate investments, commercial and residential.  Who will it effect and when? </p>
<p>The Wisconsin REALTORS(R) Association (WRA) just recently published and distributed an article to it&#8217;s members with just these questions and facts.  Here are the facts:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Beginning in 2013, a new 3.8% Federal tax will be imposed on investment income of &#8220;high-income earners&#8221; &#8212; single households with adjusted gross incomes (AGI) over $200,000.00 and married households above $250,000.  The tax applies to smaller of the household&#8217;s net investment income or the excess of AGI over the thresholds.  Capital gains are treated as investment income.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">If a household&#8217;s AGI exceeds the thresholds, the household will be required to pay 3.8% tax on the folloing types of real estate:</p>
<ul>
<li>The gain from the sale of a primary residence, if the gain on the home exceeds $250,000.00 for single housholds or $500,000.00 for married households (Note: For theprimary residences, the tax apllies only to the gain over these amounts.</li>
<li>The gain from the sale of second homes.</li>
<li>The gain from the sale of investment and commercial real estate</li>
<li>Net rental income from investment properties.</li>
</ul>

In the newly released January survey, 1.8 percent of respondents said their banks eased standards for CRE loans in the prior three months, the fourth consecutive quarter of easing. Nearly 34 percent reported stronger demand for CRE loans from creditworthy borrowers. While demand for commercial real estate loans has returned to pre-recession levels, banks are loosening standards at a cautious pace. The 30-day delinquency level for bank CRE loans has declined from 8.76 percent in the second quarter of 2010 to a still-elevated 6.69 percent in the third quarter of 2011. Overall, capital availability is increasing for commercial real estate across most sources of debt and equity, which will fuel increasing transaction volume in 2012.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New Medicare Tax Imposed on Real Estate Sales of &#8220;High-Income Earners&#8221;.</strong>  Many of you have heard about the new Medicare Tax on investment income, including income from real estate.  However, based upon several calls the Wisconsin Realtors Association has recieved, confusion still exists about when the new tax goes into effect, who it applies to, and what types of real estate will be impacted.</p>
<p><strong>Here are the facts:</strong></p>
<p>Beginning in 2013, a new 3.8% tax will be imposed on investment income of &#8220;high-income earners&#8221; &#8212; single households with adjusted gross incomes (AGI) over $200,000 and married households above $250,000. The tax applies to the smaller of the household&#8217;s net investment income or the excess of AGI over the thresholds. Capital gains are treated as investment income.</p>
<p>If a household&#8217;s AGI exceeds the thresholds, the household will be required to pay the 3.8% tax on the following types of real estate:</p>
