You might still be focused on surviving 2020, but when it comes to taxes, it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead.
This month, the IRS released updates to the tax code for tax year 2021. Though actual tax brackets remained the same (10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32% and 35%), income limits for each bracket were increased to account for inflation. The standard deduction for 2021 was also increased.

Wondering about tax brackets for 2020? Take a look at them here.
What Do The 2021 Tax Brackets Mean?
Tax brackets are a way to ensure that the lowest-earning Americans aren’t forced to pay the same tax rate as higher earners.
The U.S. follows a progressive tax system, meaning that portions of your income are taxed at different rates. So if you’re a single filer earning $80,000 per year, for example, you don’t actually pay 22% on that income.
Instead, the first $9,950 of income is taxed at 10%. The next $9,951 to $40,525 of income is taxed at 12%. The last $39,425 of your income (income above $40,525) is what would be taxed at the highest rate of 22%.
