Hi jjr37,
I greatly appreciate your response on this question, I too have noticed how the Effective Tax Rate is being reported and it stems from a basic calculation: Total Income Tax Liability divided by Total Income.
I agree that it does not fairly represent what should be expected, but that is exactly how their program is computing the effective rate of tax being generated from all sources of income.
I've noticed this for some time and have brought it up with others. There may be a justifiable reason for the approach, but the only method that matters is the one the taxpayer can fully appreciate to their standards.
Great callout.
