Key 2025 Updates for Individual Taxpayers

Revised Income Tax Brackets
Adjustments to tax brackets and thresholds may change how much of your income is subject to higher rates. Understanding where your income falls helps ensure accurate withholding and estimated payments.

Standard Deduction and Itemized Deductions
The standard deduction amounts have shifted again for 2025, while certain itemized deductions continue to face caps or limitations. Evaluating which approach yields the greatest benefit is key to maximizing your refund or minimizing your tax due.
