This is the first of a series of 2007 Tax reference sheets that I’ll be sharing with you over the next month or so. This one focuses on some of the major federal income tax key numbers. I’ll do future ones for estate planning, retirement planning and business planning in the not too distant future so stay tuned. Since federal income taxes are such a large part of most peoples life or expenditures, I thought that you might like a summary or reference sheet for some of the important figures for 2007. Many people believe that if someone is in the 28% tax bracket, they pay all taxes due at the rate of 28% of taxable income. This is not correct. A couple having a taxable income of $125,000 does not pay 25% federal income tax on ALL of the taxable income… but only on everything over $63,700. The first $15,650 is only taxed at 10%, the taxable incom thrush treatment e from $15,560-$63,700 would be taxed at 15% and so on. The figures below is taxable income (after deductions and exemptions). I’ll start out with the tax brackets for the 2007 tax year. The figures below show the various “steps” on how the marginal income brackets are progressively taxed higher. Married, Filing Jointly: $zero – $15,650 is taxed at 10% $15,650 – $63,700 is taxed at 15% $63,700 – $128,500 is taxed at 25% $128,500 – $195,850 is taxed at 28% $195,850 – $349,700 is taxed at 33% over $349,700 is taxed at 35% Married, Filing Separately: Note: Often times it make more sense for a married couple to file taxes separately for either tax reduction strategies or for non-tax reasons. Your tax advisor should help you decide if there are important reasons for YOU to take advantage of this filing status.
