The phrase “tax bracket” becomes a buzz word around April of every year but with the presidential elections just around the corner the topic of taxes and tax brackets are two things you’re almost unable to avoid. A lot of attention gets put on what tax bracket people are in and how much they’re being taxed on certain types of income. While the subject of taxes can quickly become quite taxing on your brain figuring out the simple fact of what tax bracket you’re in isn’t.
The federal tax brackets and what income level qualifies you for a specific bracket can change every year. The primary reason would be to adjust for inflation but changes in the tax code can also affect tax rates. Your personal tax bracket will vary according to your filing status as well.
The best place to find your personal tax bracket is on the IRS website (www.irs.gov). They have loads of information that help you figure out not only your tax bracket but also things like what your expected tax bill would be depending on your taxable income. The IRS hasn’t yet released the tax tables for 2012 but they can be expected to be quite similar to what we saw in 2011.
For those looking for a quick answer, here’s what the federal tax brackets looked like in 2011.
For single filers, the 10% bracket included income up to $8,500. Income up to $34,500 lands you in the 15% bracket. The 25% bracket includes income up to $83,600. The 28% tax bracket applies to income up to $174,400. Income up to $379,150 gets taxed at the 33% rate and anything above that gets taxed at 35%.
For joint filers, the 10% bracket is for income up to $17,000. Income up to $69,000 gets taxed at the 15% rate. The 25% bracket includes income up to $139,350.
