For single filers, the new tax law reduces tax rates for several income brackets and shifts the income thresholds for these brackets. Specifically, the 25% bracket drops to 22% up to $103k, the 28% bracket drops to 24% up to $197k, the 33% bracket drops to 32% up to $4M, the 35% bracket extends to $626k, and the top rate drops from 39.6% to 37% for income over $626k.
"But beyond that, you'll start to see a difference because now instead of the next tax bracket being at 25%, it's going to be at 22% up to $103,000 a year, not $120,000 a year. The bracket after that is not 28%. It's now going to be at 24% up to $197,000 a year instead of a quarter million a year. Then the next bracket after that is not 33%, it's going to be 32% up to a4 million a year, not $544,000 a year. And then the next bracket is going to stay at 35%. But instead of going to $546,000 a year, it's being extended to $626,000 a year. And then the final tax bracket will not be at 39.6%. is going to be at a top 37% on every dollar that you earn over $626,000 a year."
