Will I have to pay both the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax and the additional .9% Medicare tax?

You may be subject to both taxes, but not on the same type of income. The 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax applies to individuals’ wages, compensation and self-employment income over certain thresholds, but it does not apply to income items included in Net Investment Income
