Here are the IRS tax brackets for 2025

The IRS has released the updated federal income tax brackets and standard deductions for 2025.

As announced on Tuesday, the income thresholds for each bracket have been raised, affecting the tax year 2025 for returns filed in 2026. The top tax rate of 37% will apply to individuals with taxable income exceeding $626,350 and married couples filing jointly with income over $751,600 in 2025.

Additionally, the IRS adjusted various other provisions, including long-term capital gains brackets, estate and gift tax exemptions, and eligibility for the earned income tax credit.

After 2025, the lower tax rates introduced by former President Donald Trump are set to expire unless Congress takes action. If they expire, tax brackets will revert to their 2017 levels, with rates shifting to 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%, and 39.6%.

The standard deduction will also rise in 2025, increasing to $30,000 for married couples filing jointly (up from $29,200 in 2024) and to $15,000 for single filers (up from $14,600). The higher standard deductions, part of Trump's tax cuts, will also sunset after 2025 unless Congress extends them.
