The Affordable Care Act (ACA) introduces two new taxes that certain higher-income taxpayers should know about: A 3.8 percent Medicare contribution tax on unearned income (also known as net investment income) over certain threshold amounts and an additional 0.9 percent payroll tax assessed on earned income over the thresholds.

The Data Mining feature in UltraTax CS includes several pre-defined searches related to the Affordable Care Act including clients who are subject to the additional Medicare tax, have additional Medicare tax withholding amounts, qualify for the Premium Tax Credit, have full-year coverage, have a health care exemption, are subject to the net investment income tax, and more.

Data Mining also includes many pre-defined individual client letters that you can mail or email individually or en masse for estimate reminders, tax law changes, tax planning services, and cross-selling services, or you can create your own user-defined versions to continue building on the client relationship by adding other services after tax season. To learn more about Data Mining, see Data Mining overview.
