FISCAL FACT No. 486: 2016 Tax Brackets (PDF)

What is a Tax Bracket?

Taxation is an important aspect of your income. Tax brackets are the different rates of taxes which are levied on the different income levels of an individual. Every year IRS adjusts more than 40 Tax provisions for inflation. IRS carries this action by preventing the “Bracket Creep”. When inflation occurs the value of income increases and the person might creep into higher tax bracket without the increase in his income.

How IRS decide the range of tax bracket

IRS uses the information related to CPI (Consumer Price Index) to calculate the inflation of last year. This information is then used to adjust income, deduction amount and credit value of the present year.
