How Tax Brackets Work in a Year of Adjusted Inflation

Episode 94 of The Tax Strategy Podcast with Fexingo breaks down how inflation-adjusted tax brackets actually affect your 2026 tax bill. Lucas and Luna walk through the specific 2026 bracket thresholds for single filers, explain why 'bracket creep' is less of a concern now, and show how the standard deduction increase interacts with ordinary income. They use a concrete example: a single taxpayer earning $65,000 in wage income, calculating exactly how much they save versus 2025 rates. The episode also covers the hidden trap of state tax brackets that don't index for inflation. No vague advice — just real numbers, real brackets, and a clear takeaway. #TaxBrackets #InflationAdjustment #2026TaxBrackets #StandardDeduction #BracketCreep #MarginalTaxRate #SingleFiler #IRS #Indexing #FederalIncomeTax #StateTax #TaxStrategy #PersonalFinance #Finance #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Education Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
