Editor’s note: This story has been updated to accurately reflect when federal income tax brackets were announced.
Tax brackets for the upcoming tax season are expected to remain the same as in 2022 after the Internal Revenue Service announced higher brackets and standard deductions amid soaring inflation last year.
The income thresholds have increased for each bracket, which is expected to be in place until 2025, according to Nerd Wallet.
The brackets show how much a taxpayer will owe on “taxable income” from their return, which is calculated by adding up all income sources and then subtracting any standard deductions, according to H&R Block.
These are the federal tax brackets

These adjustments can help taxpayers not end up in a higher tax bracket as cost of living expenses increase, according to the finance publication.
