What are the different tax brackets for 2020 taxes?
Dec 18, 2020
It is never too early in the year to start thinking about your taxes. In fact, the sooner you can form a plan for how to manage your finances for the tax season, the better. With careful planning, you can grow your wealth while minimizing your tax liability, which reduces how much you may end up owing to the federal government in taxes.
One of the most important aspects of tax preparation is to understand the different tax brackets. The tax brackets represent different income levels and how much they are responsible for owing in taxes based on that income. Knowing which tax bracket you are likely to fall under is a big first step in the rest of your tax preparation.
