What are the new tax brackets for 2024?

The new IRS tax brackets for 2024 were released early last year. Let’s explore the two types of taxes that individuals may qualify for and examine the extent of the changes compared to the previous year.

1. Federal Taxes

2. State taxes

Will the tax brackets be the same for business entities?

For businesses, the 2024 tax brackets will vary depending on the type of entity and the amount of income earned. Corporations will be subject to a flat tax rate of 21%, while pass-through entities like partnerships and S corporations will be subject to individual tax rates as mentioned above. It is important to note that when filing your taxes, you must refer to the tax brackets announced for the previous year. For instance, if you are filing taxes in 2024, you should apply the tax brackets announced for 2023. Similarly, if you are filing for 2025, you must refer to the 2024 tax brackets.
