The 2021 federal income tax has multiple marginal tax rates based on the amount of taxable income, along with standard deductions that reduce taxable income. For example, a married couple filing jointly with a taxable income of $100,000 pays a total tax of $12,226.50 after deductions. Understanding these rates and deductions helps accurately calculate income tax obligations.
