Your return for 2019, which will be due on April 15, 2020, will feature the same lower tax rates for 2018 which were creat- ed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. These rates are 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%. Another change, noted by the financial experts at Kiplinger, the personal finan- cial advice firm, is the method used to adjust tax brackets for inflation. Tax brackets were previously adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index, the varia- tion in prices paid by typical consumers for retail goods and other items. But some economists thought the formula failed to account fully for changes in spending as prices rise. Subsequently, the so-called “chained index” has come into play for 2019 adjustments. Chained indexing should result in lower inflation adjustments and could result in a higher tax bracket. The bottom line: If your income rises faster than inflation, you pay more taxes. Also, if you were looking for the so-called marriage penalty to disappear, look again. This law still exists and taxes couples who file jointly and whose incomes are similar more than if they were single. This twist used to affect the four highest brackets, but since the TCJA went into effect, only the top bracket is vulnerable to the penalty. Be warned, advises Kiplinger, couples who earn more than $612,350 in taxable income for 2019. Other changes include the elimination of the individual mandate penalty for the Affordable Care Act, a higher medical expense deduction threshold, no alimony deduction and higher retirement account and HSA contribution limits. STANDARD DEDUCTIONS Below is information on standard deductions for the 2019 tax year, accord- ing to the IRS, which have risen slightly over last year: The standard deduction for single tax- payers is $12,200. For married couples filing jointly, the standard deduction is $24,400. For married couples filing separately, the standard deduction is $12,200. For heads of households, the standard deduction is $18,350. People over age 65 or who are blind get a bigger standard deduction. OTHER CREDITS There are a host of changes to credits affected by your life situation. Here are a few of the most notable from the person- al finance website NerdWallet and the IRS: Earned Income Tax Credit: This credit can get you between $529 and $6,557 in 2019 depending on how many kids you have, your marital status and if your adjusted gross income is less than about $56,000. Child and Dependent Care Credit: Deduct 20%-35% of up to $3,000 of day care and similar costs for a child under 13, an incapacitated spouse or parent, or another dependent so you can work — and up to $6,000 of expenses for two or more dependents. Adoption Credit: For 2019, this credit covers up to $14,080 in adoption costs per child. Student Loan Interest Deduction: Deduct up to $2,500 from your taxable income if you paid interest on your stu- dent loans. American Opportunity Tax Credit: This lets you claim all of the first $2,000 you spent on tuition, books, equipment and school fees — but not living expens- es or transportation — plus 25% of the next $2,000, for a total of $2,500. © ADOBE STOCK
