- $12,200 for single filers
- $24,400 for married filing jointly
- $12,200 for married filing separately
- $18,350 for head of household
If your total itemized deductions are less than the standard deduction, you should take the standard deduction to reduce your taxable income.
Example Calculation
Let's calculate the federal income tax for a single filer with $50,000 taxable income in 2019.
Tax Calculation:
$0 - $9,700: $9,700 × 10% = $970
$9,701 - $39,475: $39,475 - $9,700 = $29,775 × 12% = $3,573
$39,476 - $50,000: $50,000 - $39,475 = $10,525 × 22% = $2,315
Total tax: $970 + $3,573 + $2,315 = $6,858
For this example, the estimated federal income tax would be $6,858.
