FILING YOUR TAXES

2022 – 2023 Tax brackets and federal income tax rates

Jo Willetts, EA

Director, Tax Resources

Published on: May 12, 2023

Generally speaking, you pay a set percentage of your income to the IRS. The exact percentage you will pay depends on which tax brackets you fall into. The IRS splits tax rates into 7 different groups, determined by your taxable income and filing status. For example, a married couple filing jointly could be in a different tax bracket than those married and filing separately. Keep reading to understand where you fit in.

What are the 7 tax brackets?

The tax bracket you fall into determines the percentage of your income you pay to the IRS. The current federal income tax brackets are 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%. Your tax bracket is determined by your taxable income that year, and by your filing status, such as single, married and filing jointly or separately, or head of household.

Are 2023 tax brackets different than 2022?

The 7 federal income tax brackets for 2023 are the same as 2022. However, there’s good news. Due to 2022 and 2023 inflation, the IRS significantly updated the income thresholds for each of the 7 tax brackets to help prevent you from paying higher taxes because your cost of living has also increased. This adjustment could mean you’ll pay less tax because you could be in a lower tax bracket than you were last year. See the helpful 2023 charts below.
