SEE MORE Getting Married? Let's Talk Taxesīefore the 2017 tax reform law, this happened in the four highest tax brackets. The penalty is triggered when, for any given rate, the minimum taxable income for the joint filers' tax bracket is less than twice the minimum amount for the single filers' bracket. The difference between bracket ranges sometimes creates a " marriage penalty." This tax-law twist makes certain married couples filing a joint return pay more tax than they would if they were single (typically, where the spouses' incomes are similar). That's a lot of money, but it's still $37,045 less than if the 37% rate were applied as a flat rate on the entire $1 million (which would result in a $370,000 tax bill). So, for example, the tax on $1 million for a single person in 2022 is $332,955. The rest is taxed at lower rates as described above.
(We can all dream, right?) If you're single, only your 2022 income over $539,900 is taxed at the top rate (37%). (That's $6,164 less than if a flat 24% rate was applied to the entire $100,000.) When you add it all up, your total 2022 tax is only $17,836. That leaves only $10,925 of your taxable income (the amount over $89,075) that is taxed at the 24% rate, which comes to an additional $2,622 of tax. After that, the next $47,300 of your income (from $41,776 to $89,075) is taxed at the 22% rate for $10,406 of tax. The next $31,500 of income (the amount from $10,276 to $41,775) is taxed at the 12% rate for an additional $3,780 of tax. Again, assuming you're single with $100,000 taxable income in 2022, the first $10,275 of your income is taxed at the 10% rate for $1,028 of tax.

(For 2021, the 22% tax bracket for singles went from $40,526 to $86,375, while the same rate applied to head-of-household filers with taxable income from $54,201 to $86,350.) So, that's something else to keep in mind when you're filing a return or planning to reduce a future tax bill. However, for head-of-household filers, it goes from $55,901 to $89,050. For example, for single filers, the 22% tax bracket for the 2022 tax year starts at $41,776 and ends at $89,075. The 20 tax bracket ranges also differ depending on your filing status.

However, as they are every year, the 2022 tax brackets were adjusted to account for inflation. When it comes to federal income tax rates and brackets, the tax rates themselves didn't change from 2021 to 2022. For most Americans, that's their return for the 2022 tax year - which will be due on Ap(or October 16, 2023, if you request an extension next year). Smart taxpayers are planning ahead and already thinking about their next federal income tax return.
