Form 8960 (Net Investment Income Tax – Individuals, Estates, and Trusts) used for the 3.8% surtax on investment income for the Affordable Care Act. It first appeared in tax year 2013.

If you have income from investments and your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $200,000 for individuals, $250,000 for spouses filing jointly, and $125,000 for spouses filing separately, we'll include Form 8960 with your return.
