The federal tax laws keep changing every year to account for several factors, such as inflation, and other economic parameters, that affect taxpayers' income and spending capacity. Inflation rises on a year-to-year basis, as does the salary of the ordinary taxpayer, to keep up with the increasing prices of goods and services. These modifications call for yearly revision of the federal tax laws that govern how Individual and Business Tax filing is done. It is crucial for every individual taxpayer or entity that pays federal taxes to the government to save money during tax filing. Let us understand the changes made in the federal tax laws for 2023 and how they compare to the tax laws for the previous years.
To relieve taxpayers from paying hefty amounts of individual and federal taxes, the IRS has raised the tax brackets significantly for 2023. In addition, tax deductions for married couples have been increased to $27,700, while single taxpayers can avail of a standard tax deduction of $13,850. Tax brackets are set for married couples and single taxpayers but vary in terms of threshold income. The tax brackets set by the government provide information regarding how much you would owe the IRS in the form of individual or federal taxes. The tax brackets for married couples that file joint federal tax returns must be discussed separately.

Inflation issues addressed by the IRS in the 2023 tax laws:
The IRS has addressed the sky-high inflation rates in 2023 by increasing the thresholds of the brackets set for individual and federal taxes by approximately 7%. This implies that, for the same income in 2023, you might receive a smaller tax bill for the year than the year before. This has allowed taxpayers from falling prey to "bracket creep" because of inflation. However, no changes have been made to the marginal tax rates that apply to each bracket. The brackets for capital gains tax have also been bumped up to accommodate the effect of inflation. Single taxpayers are not required to pay capital gain taxes as long as their capital gains are under $41,675. Let us list different capital gain tax brackets and the percentage of taxes that apply to these brackets.
The maximum Health Savings Accounts contribution has also been increased by $200 for individuals and $450 for families, which leaves the upper limit for max HSA contributions at $3,850 for individuals and $7,750 for families. Thus, one can state that the IRS has made several provisions for taxpayers to ensure justified tax returns.
However, manually keeping track of all the expenses can get hectic and, if not done carefully, cause faulty tax filing. This can delay or lower the tax returns one can get. The amount of Individual and federal taxes to be paid to the IRS are subject to several parameters, which need to be accounted for while filing taxes for federal tax returns.
