You and spouse are filing a joint return. Your current deductions have reduced your taxable income to​ $88,990, bringing you into the 25 percent tax bracket. The first dollars you earned will be taxed at the​ ________ tax bracket.

Respuesta :

Answer: Deductions

Explanation:

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

The current tax brackets (2019 taxes due April 2020) for married filing together are:

Tax rate  Married filing jointly

10%          $0 – $19,400

12%          $19,401 – $78,950

22%          $78,951 – $168,400

24%          $168,401 – $321,450

It doesn't matter if your income is $500 million, $100,000 or $20,000, the first dollars that you earn always fall into the first bracket (10%). Tax brackets are progressive, this means that they increase as your income increases, but everyone starts in the first one.
