SECTION 1. PURPOSE

This revenue procedure sets forth inflation-adjusted items for 2024 for various Code

provisions as in effect on November 9, 2023. The inflation adjusted items for the Code

sections set forth in section 3 of this revenue procedure are generally determined by

reference to § 1(f). To the extent amendments to the Code are enacted for 2024 after

November 9, 2023, taxpayers should consult additional guidance to determine whether

these adjustments remain applicable for 2024.

SECTION 2. CHANGES

.01 For calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, § 13601(a)(2) of Public

Law 117-169, 136 Stat. 1818 (August 16, 2022), commonly known as the Inflation

Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), reinstates the Hazardous Substance Superfund financing rate

for crude oil received at a United States refinery and petroleum products entered into the

United States for consumption, use, or warehousing under § 4611. The rate of tax imposed

by § 4611 is the sum of the Hazardous Substance Superfund rate and the Oil Spill Liability

Trust Fund financing rate. In the case of crude oil or petroleum products entered after

December 31, 2016, for calendar years beginning in 2023, the rate of tax imposed by

§ 4611(a) is $0.254 cents a barrel.

.02 Unearned Income of Minor Children Subject to the “Kiddie Tax”. For taxable years

beginning in 2024, the amount in § 1(g)(4)(A)(ii)(I), which is used to reduce the net

unearned income reported on the child’s return that is subject to the “kiddie tax,” is $1,300.

This $1,300 amount is the same as the amount provided in § 63(c)(5)(A), as adjusted for

inflation. The same $1,300 amount is used for purposes of § 1(g)(7) to determine whether a

parent may elect to include a child’s gross income in the parent’s gross income and to

calculate the “kiddie tax.” For example, one of the requirements for the parental election is

that a child’s gross income is more than the amount referenced in § 1(g)(4)(A)(ii)(I) but less

than 10 times that amount; thus, a child’s gross income for 2024 must be more than $1,300

but less than $13,000.

.03 Maximum Capital Gains Rate (§1(h), §1(j)(5)). For taxable years beginning in 2024,

allowed for an adoption of a child with special needs is $16,810. For taxable years

beginning in 2024, under § 23(b)(1) the maximum credit allowed for other adoptions is the

amount of qualified adoption expenses up to $16,810. The available adoption credit begins

to phase out under § 23(b)(2)(A) for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income in

excess of $252,150 and is completely phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted

gross income of $292,150 or more. See section 3.19 of this revenue procedure for the

determine the earned income credit under § 32(b). The “earned income amount” is the

amount of earned income at or above which the maximum amount of the earned income

credit is allowed. The “threshold phaseout amount” is the amount of adjusted gross income

(or, if greater, earned income) above which the maximum amount of the credit begins to

phase out. The “completed phaseout amount” is the amount of adjusted gross income (or, if

greater, earned income) at or above which no credit is allowed. The threshold phaseout

amounts and the completed phaseout amounts shown in the table below for married

taxpayers filing a joint return include the increase provided in § 32(b)(2)(B), as adjusted for
10

inflation for taxable years beginning in 2024. The threshold phaseout amounts and the

completed phaseout amounts shown in the table below for taxpayers with all other filing

statuses also apply to married taxpayers who are not filing a joint return and satisfy the

special rules for separated spouses in § 32(d).
