THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate. Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all. - Single: $16,600 - Married: $33,200 Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers. Single filers: - 10% on your first $12,800 - 12% on income up to $52,025 - 22% up to $109,125 - 24% up to $208,325 - 32% up to $264,550 - 35% up to $661,375 - 37% on anything above that Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650). Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000. - 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280 - 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707 - 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755 Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned. Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.

George Lucas would roll out of bed, have 3 heart attacks on the phone with John Dykstra because the godlike special effects they invented were behind schedule, then tell John Williams some vague shit that became the best film score of all time. We don't appreciate the man enough
