Season 9 Episode 9: A Quick Breakdown of 2026 Tax Brackets
In this short episode, let’s talk about tax rates for 2026 for single and joint filers alike. Since its after-tax season, it seems like a perfect time to talk about this subject with plenty of time for planning. I’m Paul Rosenblum.
If you are a single tax filer, if you make up to $12,400 of adjusted gross income (or AGI), you are in the 10% tax bracket. 12% tax if you make $12,401 - $50,400 of AGI. $50,401 - $105,700 puts you in the 22% tax bracket, $105,701 - $201.775 bumps you up to the 24% tax bracket, the 32% tax bracket, you have to make $201,176 to $256,225 annually. The 35% tax bracket includes a single filer making $256,226 - $640,000 and the top tier at 37% if you make more than $640K.
For joint filers, the 10% tax bracket is up to $24,800, 12% is between $24,801 to $100,800, 22% is between $100,801 - $211,400, 24% is $211,401 - $403,550 , and 32% is $403,551-$512,450, 35% for $512,451 - $768,700 and the top tier is at 37% if you both make a total of more than $768,700.
Keep in mind that if you are a business owner and you have been filing as an S Corp, then it’s a flat 21% tax rate. An LLC or a sole proprietorship is taxed at the personal rates that I talked about earlier.
I will post this in the Substack newsletter so you can have it handy. Your tax preparer will be impressed with you 😊
