Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?

Your marginal tax rate is the rate on your last dollar of income. Your effective tax rate is your total tax divided by your total income — the average rate you actually pay. Most people's effective rate is much lower than their marginal rate.

What are the 2026 federal income tax brackets?

For 2026, the federal brackets are: 10% (up to $11,925), 12% ($11,926–$48,475), 22% ($48,476–$103,350), 24% ($103,351–$197,300), 32% ($197,301–$250,525), 35% ($250,526–$626,350), and 37% (over $626,350) for single filers.

What is the standard deduction for 2026?

The 2026 standard deduction is $15,000 for single filers and $30,000 for married filing jointly (IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32). This deduction reduces your taxable income before tax brackets are applied.

Do I have to pay state income tax?

It depends on where you live. Nine states have no income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. The remaining 41 states plus DC levy state income tax, with rates ranging from 1% to 13.3% (California).
