IRS announces new tax brackets for 2024. What does that mean for you?
View Date:2024-12-23 20:55:24
The Internal Revenue Service has announced that income tax brackets and standard deductions will be changing come the 2024-2025 season.
The IRS released the information Thursday in its annual inflation adjustments report, revealing a 5.4% bump in income thresholds to reach each new bracket.
The IRS makes these changes annually, using a formula based around the consumer price index to address inflation and prevent "bracket creep," which happens when inflation pushes taxpayers into a higher bracket without any real increase in income or buying power.
While this bump is lower than last year's historical 7% increase, it is still more significant than times in the past when inflation was lower than the current 3.7%.
There are seven federal income tax rates as set by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act and they are applied progressively, meaning the more you earn, the higher percentage of taxes you pay from your income. The rates currently are set at 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%.
