Over the last few years, there have been a number of changes to the tax law. These include new federal tax brackets, standard deduction changes, and elimination of the personal exemption.

2023 Federal Tax Brackets

Here are the 2023 Federal tax brackets. Remember, these aren't the amounts you file for your tax return, but rather the amount of tax you're going to pay starting January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. These brackets significantly increased for 2023 due to rising inflation.

For 2020 and 2021, the Federal tax brackets are very similar to what you saw in 2019. There are some slight changes, but nothing major like we saw from 2017 to 2018 with the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
