Income brackets, deductions and enacted rate changes follow this agency's published 2024 and 2026 schedules.
Federal · IRS revenue procedures for 2024 and 2026, including the 2025 federal law. Federal brackets, standard deduction and SALT cap are set by the IRS schedules for each year, not by the state.
Combined sales tax rates are population-weighted averages of state and local rates, taken from the Tax Foundation's State and Local Sales Tax Rates tables as of July 2026 for the 2026 column and July 2024 for the 2024 column, not single-city rates. Property tax rates are effective owner-occupied averages, not assessor records.

- SALT deduction cap$10,000 → $40,400
- Your state income and property taxes come to $8,027. Under the old cap only $8,471 of state and local tax was deductible; now $8,478 is. This estimate elects general sales tax in place of state income tax, as the IRS allows, because it yields the larger deduction. The cap phases down above $505,000 of income.
- Deduction you can claim$31,871 → $32,200
- You itemized in 2024 ($31,871) and take the standard deduction in 2026 ($32,200). The standard deduction itself rose to $32,200 for your filing status.
- Bracket indexing−$682
- The 2017 rate structure was made permanent, so the rates did not change. The thresholds are indexed for inflation each year, so 2026's wider brackets are worth this much at your income on their own. That is mechanical, not legislative, which is why it is reported separately.
- Deduction and cap changes−$72
- What the higher SALT cap and the larger standard deduction are worth at your income, holding 2024's brackets fixed.
