For 2024, single filers: 10% ($0-$11,600), 12% ($11,601-$47,150), 22% ($47,151-$100,525), 24% ($100,526-$191,950), 32% ($191,951-$243,725), 35% ($243,726-$609,350), 37% (over $609,350). Married filing jointly brackets are roughly double these amounts.
For 2024: $14,600 for single filers and married filing separately, $29,200 for married filing jointly, and $21,900 for head of household. Add $1,550 for those 65+ or blind (single), or $1,550 each for married filers 65+ or blind.
Marginal rate is the rate on your last dollar of income (your highest bracket). Effective rate is total tax divided by total income - it's always lower than marginal because only income above each bracket threshold is taxed at that rate.
Take whichever is higher. Itemize if your mortgage interest, state/local taxes (capped at $10,000), charitable donations, and other deductions exceed the standard deduction. About 90% of filers now take the standard deduction after 2017 tax reform.
FICA includes Social Security tax (6.2% on wages up to $168,600 in 2024) and Medicare tax (1.45% on all wages, plus 0.9% additional Medicare on wages over $200,000 single/$250,000 married). Employers match these amounts.
Deductions reduce taxable income (saving you money at your marginal rate). Credits reduce tax dollar-for-dollar. A $1,000 credit saves $1,000 in taxes, while a $1,000 deduction saves $220-$370 depending on your bracket. Credits are more valuable.
