The IRS adjusts tax bracket and standard deduction annually, with inflation. High inflation rates led to a 7.1% increase in the federal tax bracket to protect taxpayers from bracket creep. Bracket creep occurs when certain taxpayers are pushed into a higher income bracket but still have the same purchasing power.
Taxpayers need protection from inflation to avoid paying more taxes. Lower to moderate-income families may benefit from a 10% increase in taxes.
Taxpayers should file accurate and electronic taxes for a 21-day refund. Some may need additional review due to errors, theft, or fraud. Deadline is April 15, 2024. Seek expert help.
