Income Tax
(Covered in Tax Law)
Income Tax is a tax on an individual's net income, after deductions for various expenses and payments such as charitable gifts, calculated on a formula which takes into consideration whether it is paid jointly by a married couple, the number of dependents of the taxpayers, special breaks for ages over 65, disabilities and other factors. Federal income taxes have been collected since 1913 when they were authorized by the 16th Amendment to the Constitution.

Estate Tax
(Covered in Tax Law)
Estate tax is generally a federal tax on the transfer of a deceased person's assets to his heirs and beneficiaries. Although a transfer tax, it is based on the amount in the decedent's estate (including distribution from a trust at the death) and can include insurance proceeds. Currently such federal taxation applies to the amount of an estate above $600,000, or as much as double that amount if the estate is distributed to a spouse. Some states have an estate tax, more commonly called an inheritance tax.

Child Tax Credit
(Covered in Tax Law)
The Child Tax Credit is a federal tax credit worth up to $600 per child in tax year 2002 and $1,000 in 2003. Families must have dependent children under age 17 to get it. The Child Tax Credit comes as a refund from the IRS. The Child Tax Credit is eligible to families even if they owe no income tax.
