In addition, the standard deduction will rise to $13,850 for single filers for the 2023 tax year, from $12,950 the previous year. The standard deduction for couples filing jointly will rise to $27,700 in 2023, from $25,900 in the 2022 tax year.
Single filers age 65 and older who are not a surviving spouse can increase the standard deduction by $1,850. Each joint filer 65 and over can increase the standard deduction by $1,500 apiece, for a total of $3,000 if both joint filers are 65-plus. You can also itemize individual tax deductions, for things like charity donations, but they need to add up to more than the standard deduction to make itemizing worthwhile.
The IRS uses the chained consumer price index (CPI) to measure inflation, as mandated by the 2017 tax reform. Like the more well-known consumer price index, the chained CPI measures price changes in about 80,000 items. The chained CPI takes into account the fact that when prices of some items rise, consumers often substitute other items. If the price of beef rises, for example, people switch to chicken.
If you paid a big tax bill in 2022, you should talk with a tax adviser about how to reduce your bill in 2023. It’s probably easier to have more money withheld from each paycheck than to face a big tax bill next year. A good first step is to look at how much tax you get taken from your paycheck. The IRS has a free withholding estimator that can tell you how much you should have taken out.
Good luck getting your ducks in a row before the end of the 2023 Income Tax Year.
