(Note that the tax brackets for your state’s income tax could contain a marriage penalty.) As a result, only couples with a combined taxable income over $628,300 are at risk for this “penalty” when filing their 2021 federal tax return. But now, as you can see in the tables above, only the top tax bracket contains the marriage penalty trap. The penalty is triggered when, for any given rate, the minimum taxable income for the joint filers’ tax bracket is less than twice the minimum amount for the single filers’ bracket.īefore the 2017 tax reform law, this happened in the four highest tax brackets.

The next $30,575 of income (the amount from $9,951 to $40,525) is taxed at the 12% rate for an additional $3,669 of tax. Again, assuming you’re single with $90,000 taxable income in 2021, the first $9,950 of your income is taxed at the 10% rate for $995 of tax. The rest of it would be taxed at the 10%, 12%, and 22% rates. That’s because, using marginal tax rates, only a portion of your income would be taxed at the 24% rate. Since $90,000 is in the 24% bracket for singles, would your tax bill simply be a flat 24% of $90,000 – or $21,600? No! Your tax would actually be less than that amount.
