The Standard deduction for couples filing joint returns which is $5,450 this year will go up to $5,700, the deduction for singles now $3,25<fc will Rise to $3,400. Under a 1986 Law income tax brackets Are widened each year to avoid a bracket creep the problem of taxes rising faster than real incomes. These inflation adjustments known As indexing increase the amount of income a person before additional earnings Are taxed at a higher rate. For example in 1990 a couple filing jointly could have $32,450 of taxable income before moving into the 28 percent bracket. For 1991, that figure rises to $34,000. These adjustments result in these tax brackets for 1991 a for couples the first $34,000 of taxable income is taxed at 15 percent the next $48,150 is taxed at 28 percent and anything Over $82,150 is taxed at 31 per cent.
