2013 Tax Brackets for Single Individuals
(Schedule X)

If you are a single taxpayer, your tax brackets for 2013 have changed. These tax tables are designed for single individuals filing their 2013 income tax return, and represent significant changes from Tax Year 2012.

The IRS is still digesting the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which added the new 39.6% tax rate. We expect them to publish official 2013 tax brackets sometime in the first quarter of 2013.

As such, these tables are preliminary, and effective as of January 1, 2013, and do not take into account any types of tax credits or deductions, such as the standard deduction, mortgage deductions, etc. They also do not reflect any rounding the IRS may do to simplify the rates.

Note: Due to recent legislation, these tax tables are conditional and for planning purposes only. Before filing a tax return, always check Form 1040 for current year tax tables.

If Taxpayer's Income Is...		Then Estimated Taxes Are...
Between	But Not Over	Base Tax	+ Rate	Of the Amount Over
$0	$8,925	$0	10%	$0
$8,925	$36,250	$892.50	15%	$8,925
$36,250	$87,850	$4,991.25	25%	$36,250
$87,850	$183,250	$17,891.25	28%	$87,850
$183,250	$398,350	$44,603.25	33%	$183,250
$398,350	$400,000	$115,586.25	35%	$398,350
$400,000	. . .	$116,239.65	39.6%	$400,000
Example #1 Mary Mingle, a single taxpayer, has 2013 TAXABLE INCOME of $83,000. Mary's income falls between:
Between	But Not Over	Base Tax	+ Rate	Of the Amount Over
$36,250	$87,850	$4,991.25	25%	$36,250

Mary Mingle's Estimated Taxes

	= Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
	= $4,991.25 + [.25 x ($83,000 - $36,250)]
	= $4,991.25 + (.25 x $46,750)
	= $4,991.25 + $11,687.50
	= $16,678.75

Assuming she made the same amount last year, Mary's 2013 total tax dropped $101.25 from last year, using the 2012 income tax brackets for single taxpayers.

Example #2

Sam Sorem, a single taxpayer, has 2013 TAXABLE INCOME of $510,000. Mr. Sorem's income falls between:

Of the Amount Over

$400,000

. . .

$116,239.65

39.6%

$400,000

Sam Sorem's Estimated Taxes

	= Base Tax + (Rate x Amount Over)
	= $116,239.65 + [.396 x ($510,000 - $400,000)]
	= $116,239.65 + (.396 x $110,000)
	= $116,239.65 + $43,560.00
	= $159,799.65

Sam didn't fare as well in 2013 than the previous year, assuming that he earned the same income. His total tax increased $4,538.65 from his 2012 tax return, using the 2012 income tax brackets for single taxpayers.
