\n

After scorching hot inflation pushed income tax brackets and a widely-used tax deduction to their largest single-year increase in decades during 2023, another round of sizable adjustments are coming next year.<\/p>\n

Yet the 2024 increases will not be as steep for tax brackets and the standard deduction. <\/p>\n

\n

The ranges on income tax brackets increased by approximately 5.4% for 2024 returns, numbers from the the Internal Revenue Service showed Thursday. The brackets will apply to taxes filed in 2025 on income earned in 2024.<\/p>\n

The ranges increased by approximately 7% when the IRS announced its inflation adjustments last year for 2023 returns. That was the largest increase in decades, according to Robert McClelland, senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center. <\/p>\n

For both 2023 and 2024, the tax code\u2019s sizeable inflation adjustments reflect \u201ca bad thing: that your paycheck buys less than it used to,\u201d McClelland said.<\/p>\n

Each year, the IRS adjusts tax brackets, the standard deduction and approximately 60 other tax provisions that are designed to adjust higher for inflation. <\/p>\n

The larger 2024 standard deduction is $14,600 for individuals, up $750 from this year\u2019s amount. The standard deduction is $29,200 for married couples filing jointly, up $1,500. <\/p>\n

In a time of rising costs, the size of those increases matter as people eye the size of their potential tax bill or refund. The upward adjustments are meant to address \u201cbracket creep,\u201d a term that refers to households moving into higher tax brackets that haven\u2019t changed, while inflation has pushed up their income \u2014 but not their spending power. <\/p>\n

The effects of bracket adjustments can vary from household to household.<\/p>\n

If a person\u2019s income amount stays the same from one year to the next, they\u2019ll be taxed slightly less as brackets increase. <\/p>\n

A smaller tax bill may sound appealing, but it also means their wages were stagnant year over year. If a person\u2019s income rises around the same rate as the inflation adjustments and they have no major tax events \u2014 like the birth of a child or a home sale \u2014 their tax situation should stay around the same.<\/p>\n

Americans\u2019 hourly wages grew by a median 5.8% in October from a year earlier, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta\u2019s wage tracker. The wages are nominal and not adjusted for inflation. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Americans will be filing their tax year 2023 returns during the upcoming tax season. In early 2025, they\u2019ll be filing their 2024 returns using the brackets that the IRS just announced.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Americans will also be facing the end of many tax rules that went into effect under the Trump administration\u2019s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The sweeping law reduced marginal tax rates on five of the seven tax brackets and it nearly doubled the standard deduction. <\/p>\n

For now, those amounts are slated to expire at the end of 2025 and it\u2019s difficult to say what the tax landscape will look like. But here\u2019s what taxpayers can plan for with their 2024 returns. <\/p>\n

Keep in mind that most people do not fall into just one tax bracket. They fall under multiple tax brackets, progressively taxed at higher rates. <\/p>\n

Also remember tax brackets do not reflect a person\u2019s final tax bill. The process still includes applying tax credits \u2014 like the child tax credit for families, the premium tax credit linked to healthcare or electric-vehicle credits \u2014 to get to that point. <\/p>\n
