Tax Rates
2025 Federal Income Tax Rate Tables
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced the annual inflation adjustments for the 2025 tax year,
including updated federal income tax rate schedules, tax brackets, and cost-of-living adjustments.
These rates apply to income earned in 2025 and will be reported on tax returns filed in 2026.
There are seven federal income tax rates for 2025:
10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%.
While some income may effectively fall into a 0% tax range due to deductions, credits, or exclusions,
there is no separate federal 0% income tax bracket.
Below is a breakdown of the 2025 federal income tax brackets by filing status.
Important: Tax rates are based on the year income is earned, while tax due dates are based on the year tax returns are filed.
