Double tax brackets for married couples
Starting with the 2025 tax year, married couples filing jointly would use doubled income amounts for each tax bracket. This would widen the brackets for joint returns and aim to reduce the marriage penalty. If passed, many married filers could owe less because more income would be taxed at lower rates. To see your impact, compare your taxable income to the new doubled bracket amounts for 2025.
