From: Alan Dlugash To: "Jeffrey E." <jeevacation@gmail.com> Cc: Richard Kahn Subject: Re: questions re leons return ? ? Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2017 02:44:32 +0000 Medicare tax is just the unlimited portion of the self-employment tax, based on the same self-employment income. But you are correct that limited partners income is not self-employment income, so I would think that LDB would not have much. It is clear that the schedule is of Obamacare tax (Net Investment Income Tax or NIIT) not Medicare tax. See my explanation in my last email. As an NIIT calculation it looks fine, though I certainly do not have the details to verify the numbers. Also, though the method of apportioning expenses between the Net investment income vs the other income included in AGI seems reasonable, I might want to talk with Joslin as to whether there might be a more advantageous way to do the allocation.
