Tax BracketsTax Brackets• In the United States we have what is called a “progressive
income tax,” - as your taxable income rises, additional income is taxed at higher rates.
• A person with a taxable income of less than $8025 in 2010 will pay 10% of their income in taxes.
• Those who make more than $8025 will pay 10% on that income ($802.50) plus a higher rate for all income over that amount. We say the person is in the 10% tax bracket until their income rises above that $8025 level, at which point they move into a higher tax bracket.
• The tax rate rises to a maximum of 35% on income in excess of $357,700 (the person is then in the 35% tax bracket).

What is a Tax Refund?• An amount that the government gives back to a taxpayer who has paid more taxes that were due
• Federal and state taxes are withheld at a specified amount each pay period, and when the year ends, each tax payer must file income taxes by submitting the proper filing forms. In many cases, people have paid more than they were required to pay. When the federal government or state treasurer receives the tax forms, they issue checks for overpayment. This is a tax refund.
