How Federal Income Tax Works

The United States uses a progressive tax system, meaning that as your income increases, the tax rate on the additional income also increases. Your income is divided into "brackets," and each bracket is taxed at a specific rate.

2025 Standard Deductions

The standard deduction reduces your taxable income. For the 2025 tax year (filed in 2026), the standard deductions are:

  • Single: $14,600.00
  • Married Filing Jointly: $29,200.00
  • Head of Household: $21,900.00

When are 2025 taxes due?

For most taxpayers, the deadline to file your 2025 federal income tax return is April 15, 2026.
