The level of taxes we have to pay each year to the IRS can be different in the United States. There are many factors that can do this such as, for example, inflation. The United States Government, through the IRS, determines what will be the percentage of money we have to pay depending on our income.
In the next year 2025 this tax bracket will increase, so that all types of citizens will be able to earn more money without paying more taxes. There is a limit, as always happens in these cases, but it is true that we can earn some more money without having to pay extra taxes. Undoubtedly, this is good news for couples who file jointly, but also for those who file alone.
Taxes to be paid to the IRS in 2025 as a couple
It is important to know that depending on the group of citizens to which we belong we may pay more or less taxes. In case we have doubts, the best thing to do is always to go to a professional in the sector who can help us with our taxes. It is not a good idea to send the Tax Return without first checking that everything is correct.
In 2025 we will find ourselves in this situation regarding the payment of taxes to the IRS:

If we compare both tables we can find that a couple that sends the Tax Return to the IRS jointly can earn in 2024 almost $4,000 more without having to pay more than 12% tax. Therefore, in 2024 these citizens have paid 22% in taxes, which is a difference of 10%, something really important.
