The Joint Committee on Taxation has released its Overview of the Federal Tax System as in Effect for 2014. It provides a summary of the current 2014 tax system, consisting of four main elements–income tax on individuals and corporations (regular and alternative minimum tax); payroll taxes on wages (and self-employment income) to finance certain social insurance programs; estate, gift, and generation-skipping taxes (GSTs); and excise taxes on goods and services.
