The seven federal income tax rates for 2026 are unchanged from 2025: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%.

The income thresholds all moved higher, meaning more of your income is taxed at each lower rate before the next bracket kicks in.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act gave the bottom two brackets, 10% and 12%, a 4% inflation adjustment for 2026, nearly double the 2.3% adjustment applied to the higher brackets.

For single filers, the 12% bracket ceiling rose from $48,475 to $50,400, an increase of nearly $2,000 in one year.

The standard deduction also rose across every filing status: $16,100 for single and married filing separately, $32,200 for married filing jointly, and $24,150 for head of household.

These brackets apply to income earned in 2026, on the return you file in 2027, so they won't show up on the return you're about to file this year.

Which filing status are you, and does this change anything about how you're planning withholding for the rest of the year?
