IRS Announces New Tax Brackets, Standard Deduction For 2024

The IRS has announced new tax brackets and standard deduction thresholds for 2024.

The adjustments and changes include a standard deduction of $14,600 for individuals and $29,200 for couples filing jointly, a higher bracket for top-income earners who must pay a 37% income tax, and a higher earned income tax credit.

Changes to the tax brackets have been enacted with inflation in mind, as the U.S. suffers from historically high inflation not seen in over four decades.

It is important to note that these changes apply to the 2024 tax year which will be filed in 2025, they do not apply to 2023 taxes which will be filed in Q1 of 2024.

Here is the latest information on the new tax brackets for the 2024 tax year, filed in 2025.
