  1. IRS sets 2027 tax brackets and standard deductions with inflation adjustments

    The IRS has released inflation-adjusted tax brackets and standard deductions for the 2027 tax year. The standard deduction rises to $15,000 for single filers, $30,000 for married couples filing jointly, and $22,500 for heads of household. The top 37% marginal rate applies to income above $626,350 for single filers and $751,600 for joint filers. The child tax credit increases to $2,100 per qualifying child. Additional standard deduction amounts for taxpayers age 65 and older are also updated.

    Why it matters

    These annual adjustments prevent bracket creep by indexing key tax parameters to the chained Consumer Price Index. The changes affect returns filed in early 2028 and influence paycheck withholding starting January 2027. Higher standard deductions mean fewer taxpayers will itemize, while widened brackets reduce effective tax rates for many earners.

    • Standard deduction for single filers increases to $15,000 for 2027.
    • Standard deduction for married filing jointly rises to $30,000 for 2027.
