Each year the IRS updates the amount allowed for standard deductions, tax rates and limits for retirement contributions and health savings accounts. Here are key adjustments for tax year 2025.

Standard deduction

The standard deduction is a flat rate that reduces taxable income and is designed to make calculating taxes easier. If you itemize deductions for things like mortgage interest and charitable donations you can’t take the standard deduction.

Standard deduction 2025 Change from last year
Single taxpayer/Married filing separately $15,000 +$400
Married filing jointly $30,000 +$800
Head of household $22,500 +$600

 

Tax brackets

An individual’s income isn’t taxed at a single rate. Instead, each portion, or bracket, of one’s income is subject to a different rate. For example, a single taxpayer with an income of $75,000 would be taxed in three brackets:

  • 10% bracket for the first $11,925
  • 12% for earnings between $11,925 and $48,475, and
  • 22% for earnings between $48,475 and $75,000

The 2025 federal tax brackets are broken by these income levels:

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)

To be eligible for Health Savings Account contributions, you must be enrolled in an HSA-eligible health insurance plan. Folks over age 55 can save an additional $1,000, making HSAs a valuable tool for managing health costs now and in retirement.
