What are the 2025/2026 federal income tax brackets?

The IRS has seven graduated brackets: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%, applied progressively to taxable income after deductions.

Should I choose the Standard Deduction or Itemized Deductions?

You should itemize only if your deductible expenses (mortgage interest, state and local taxes up to $10,000, and charitable gifts) exceed your standard deduction ($14,600 Single, $29,200 Married).
