The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) generally reduces individual
tax rates for 2018 through 2025. It maintains seven individual income tax
brackets but reduces the rates for all brackets except 10% and 35%, which
remain the same.
It also makes some adjustments to the income ranges each bracket
covers. For example, the 2017 top rate of 39.6% kicks in at $418,401 of taxable
income for single filers and $470,701 for joint filers, but the reduced 2018
top rate of 37% takes effect at $500,001 and $600,001, respectively.
Below is a look at the 2018 brackets under the TCJA. Keep in
mind that the elimination of the personal exemption, changes to the standard
and many itemized deductions, and other changes under the new law could affect
the amount of your income that’s subject to tax. Contact us for help assessing
what your tax rate likely will be for 2018.
