Tax Brackets and Rates In 2020, the tax code specified the seven tax brackets shown in Table 19.1. For an individual with less than $9,876 of taxable income, the tax rate was 10 percent. Any income in excess of $9,875 was taxed at a higher rate. If an individual's income rose above $85,525, the amount between $85,526 and $163,300 was taxed at 24 percent. Any income greater than $518,400 was taxed at 37 percent. TABLE 19.1 Progressive Taxes The federal income tax is progressive because it levies higher tax rates on higher incomes. The 2020 marginal tax rate started out at 10 percent for incomes below $9,876 and rose to 37 percent for incomes above $518,400. Tax Bracket | Marginal Tax Rate $0-9,875 | 10% $9,876-40,125 | 12 $40,126-85,525 | 22 $85,526-163,300 | 24 $163,301-207,350 | 32 $207,351-518,400 | 35 Over $518,400 | 37 5. Using Table 19.1, compute the taxable income and taxes for the following taxpayers: LO19-1 Taxpayer | Gross Income | Deductions | Taxable Income | Tax A | $ 20,000 | $ 4,000 | ______ | ______ B | 40,000 | 16,000 | ______ | ______ C | 80,000 | 34,000 | ______ | ______ D | 200,000 | 110,000 | ______ | ______
