    Income Tax Overview

    Income tax is a tax imposed on individuals and businesses to generate revenue for the government. The power to collect income tax is found in the Constitution of the United States, and it has been in place since 1913, following the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Internal Revenue Code, Title 26 of the United States Code (26 U.S.C.), embodies the federal income tax system. Most states also maintain an income tax system, in addition to the federal one.

    Taxable Income

    Taxable income is the amount of income from various sources that is subject to income tax. It is typically defined as "all income from whatever source derived". Some examples of taxable income include:

    • Wages and salaries
    • Interest and dividends
    • Rent from property
    • Gains from the sale of assets
    • Passive income from investments

    Tax Brackets

    Tax brackets, also known as tax rates, are the percentages of an individual's taxable income that are paid to the government. The U.S. income tax system consists of seven federal income tax rates:

    1. 10% on income up to $9,850
    2. 12% on income between $9,851 and $40,200
    3. 22% on income between $40,201 and $83,350
    4. 24% on income between $83,351 and $178,150
    5. 32% on income between $178,151 and $340,100
    6. 35% on income between $340,101 and $431,900
    7. 37% on income over $431,901

    Each tax bracket is applicable to a specific range of taxable income, and individuals are taxed at the highest rate for which their taxable income falls.

    Tax Deductions

    Tax deductions are expenses that can be subtracted from an individual's taxable income, reducing the amount of income subject to tax. Some common tax deductions include:

    • Mortgage interest on home loans
    • Charitable donations
    • Medical and dental expenses that exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income
    • Business expenses for self-employed individuals
    • State and local income or sales taxes

    These deductions help individuals reduce their taxable income and lower their tax liability.

    Filing Status

    Filing status refers to the category that an individual falls under for tax purposes. It is used to determine the amount and type of taxes a person must pay. Common filing statuses include:

    • Single
    • Married filing jointly
    • Married filing separately
    • Head of household
    • Qualifying widow or widower

    Each filing status has specific tax implications, and individuals must choose the appropriate status when filing their tax returns.

    Tax Credits

    Tax credits are amounts that can be subtracted from the amount of tax owed, reducing the total amount paid in taxes. Tax credits are different from tax deductions, which reduce taxable income. Some common tax credits include:

    • Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for low-to-moderate-income working individuals and families
    • Child Tax Credit (CTC) for parents with qualifying children
    • Education Credits for eligible students and their families
    • Retirement Savings Contributions Credit for individuals who contribute to retirement savings plans

    These credits help offset the cost of living and reduce the overall tax burden for eligible taxpayers.
