IRS announces new federal income tax brackets for 2027
The agency said the 2027 changes will lift thresholds by about 3.2% and raise the estate tax exclusion to $15.48 million per person.
- On Thursday, the Internal Revenue Service announced higher federal income tax brackets and standard deductions for 2027, adjusting income thresholds to reflect inflation measured by the consumer price index.
- The IRS adjusts income ranges annually based on the consumer price index, which climbed 3.7% in September 2026 from one year earlier, driving the 2027 bracket increases.
- Single filers receive a $16,600 standard deduction in 2027, up $500 from 2026, while married couples filing jointly gain $1,000, rising to $33,200 from $32,200.
- Americans filing 2027 taxes in early 2028 may earn more income without moving into higher tax brackets, as the IRS maintains seven tiers ranging from 10% to 37%.
- The IRS also raised the lifetime gift and estate tax exemption to $15.48 million per person in 2027, a $480,000 increase from 2026, allowing greater tax-free wealth transfers.
