Comment on US Historical Income Tax Ratesparent

Comments

The rates presented are slightly misleading because it's not including the standard deduction. For a single individual in 2021, income below $12,550 is effectively not taxed (or $25,100 for married couples).

The tax brackets are always based on AGI, millions have an effective negative tax rate due to EITC.
