The IRS has released the 2025 tax brackets with a 2.8% inflation adjustment—the smallest increase in several years.

Here's what's changing:
➡️ Standard deduction for married couples filing jointly rises to $30,000
➡️ Single filers' standard deduction increases to $15,000
➡️ Annual tax-free gift limit grows to $19,000 per recipient
➡️ Estate tax exclusion reaches $13.99 million (up from $13.61 million)
➡️ Earned Income Tax Credit maximum increases to $8,046 for qualifying families

Understanding how tax brackets work remains crucial: you're only taxed at higher rates for income above each threshold, not your entire earnings. For example, if you're married filing jointly, you'll pay 10% on the first $23,850 of taxable income, then 12% on earnings above that amount.

Important note: Some provisions aren't changing in 2025, including the $10,000 SALT deduction cap and the $2,000 Child Tax Credit. ⚖️
