How Federal Tax Brackets Work
The U.S. uses a progressive tax system with seven brackets. Your marginal tax rate only applies to income within that bracket, not your entire income. For example, if you're in the 22% bracket, only the income above the 12% threshold is taxed at 22%.
Standard vs. Itemized Deductions
Most taxpayers benefit from the standard deduction. For 2025, it's $15,000 (single), $30,000 (married filing jointly), or $22,500 (head of household). You should itemize only if your total deductions exceed the standard amount.
