IRS releases new standard deductions and tax brackets as inflation soars

Tax season is months away, but it’s never too soon to know what to expect when it comes to potential refunds — especially when inflation is gnawing at household budgets.

Hours after data came out showing the rate of inflation hit a 31-year high in October, the Internal Revenue Service announced how much certain inflation-indexed tax provisions would be adjusted for returns filed in 2023.

The IRS already announced the inflation adjustments for provisions, like the standard deduction, that will apply for returns filed in 2022. Those routine adjustments were made last October.

The latest adjustments to more than 60 provisions were determined prior to Wednesday morning’s Consumer Price Index news, IRS spokesman Anthony Burke said.

Put together, the inflation adjustments for tax years 2021 and 2022 sketch out what taxpayers can expect going forward. And if inflation isn’t “transitory,” the adjustment determinations now will be all the more important come tax time in 2023.........

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Thank Reagan for tax indexing.  Without it, everyone making over $100k would be in the 70% bracket.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
