"Out of curiosity, how many of these new taxes will take money out of your pocket?"

Not a one.

Since my wife quit working 6 years ago, our income has never gotten close to any of the so-called 'trigger' points for when most of those 'new' taxes kick in. And unless I win the lotto, I don't expect to ever reach those levels during my remaining working years (which is now officially less than two).

What you need to know about your 2013 return

New higher tax rates for upper-income individuals

For most individuals, the 2013 federal income tax rates are the same as for 2012: 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35%. However, the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) increased the maximum rate for 2013 to 39.6%. That rate only affects singles with taxable income above $400,000, married joint-filing couples with income above $450,000, and heads of households with income above $425,000.
. .
New 3.8% Medicare surtax on investment income collected by upper-income individuals
. . .
New 0.9% Medicare surtax on salaries and self-employment income earned by upper-income individuals
. . .
New personal and dependent exemption deduction phase-out rule for upper-income individuals
. . .
