Tax question...

Using your $60,000 -
Investment A returns $4,250
Investment B returns $4,300

Investment A is taxed at 25% = $1062.5 = $3187.50 return
Investment B is taxed at same rate + 28% = $1076.50 = $3223.50 return

I'm not sure there are any scenarious where you would decline an investment because it would put you in a higher tax bracket - you're "take home pay" is still higher.
