In Massachusetts, the tax on 'unearned' income is 10.75%, so your marginal tax rate can be as high as 60.75%. But taking into account that you will deduct the state tax payments from the following year's federal taxes, the marginal rate in MA is 55.375%. I'll bet NYC is higher, though, with state and local taxes. Kevin Koch (Koch is it) ...decwrl!-dec-rhea!dec-holst!koch // koch%handel.dec@decwrl.ARPA
