Welcome to the Tax Season 2025: Time to File Your 2024 Tax Return
New Tax Brackets for 2024:
Income thresholds for tax brackets have been adjusted for inflation. Use the updated brackets to calculate your taxes accurately.
Effective Tax Rate:
This is the average tax rate you pay, calculated by dividing total tax paid by taxable income. It differs from the marginal tax rate, which applies to the last dollar earned.
Deductions vs. Credits:
- Deductions: Reduce your taxable income, lowering the amount subject to tax. Examples include the standard deduction and mortgage interest.
- Credits: Reduce your tax bill dollar for dollar. Examples include the Child Tax Credit and energy-efficient home improvement credits. Refundable credits can provide refunds even if no tax is owed.
Tax Deadlines for the 2024 Tax Year
- Filing Deadline: Tuesday, April 15, 2025, is the deadline to file your 2024 taxes.
- Extension Option: You can file for an extension by April 15, 2025, which will extend your filing deadline to October 15, 2025.
- Tax Payment Deadline: Even if you file an extension, any taxes owed must be paid by April 15, 2025, to avoid penalties and interest for late payment.
Understanding your tax bracket and rate is essential regardless of your income level. Both play a major part in determining your final tax bill.
