What this number is
- This is the rate the IRS uses on the last part of that income, not a rate on all of it.
- Just you and you and a spouse together are the two the IRS newsroom post lists for these 10% to 37% rates. We do not have official dollars here for head of household or any other way of filing.
- 10% is for incomes of $12,400 or less (just you) or $24,800 or less (you and a spouse together).
- 12% is for incomes over $12,400 (just you) or over $24,800 (you and a spouse together).
- 22% is for incomes over $50,400 (just you) or over $100,800 (you and a spouse together).
- 24% is for incomes over $105,700 (just you) or over $211,400 (you and a spouse together).
- 32% is for incomes over $201,775 (just you) or over $403,550 (you and a spouse together).
- 35% is for incomes over $256,225 (just you) or over $512,450 (you and a spouse together).
- 37% is for incomes greater than $640,600 (just you) or greater than $768,700 (you and a spouse together).
- We do not add up a tax bill from these rates. We do not invent a rate for a filing status that is not on that IRS page.
