    I'm paying about 45% the past several years. Planning to dial back this year. I guess paying 45% is a good problem to have.

    The IRS has released the tax inflation adjustments for the 2025 tax year. Here are the key details:
    1. The tax rates remain unchanged at 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37.
    2. The income thresholds for each bracket have been adjusted for inflation by approximately 2.8%.
    For single filers in 2025:
    • 10% bracket: $0 - $11,925
    • 12% bracket: $11,926 - $48,475
    • 22% bracket: $48,476 - $103,350
    • 24% bracket: $103,351 - $197,300
    • 32% bracket: $197,301 - $250,525
    • 35% bracket: $250,526 - $626,350
    • 37% bracket: $626,351 and up
    For married couples filing jointly in 2025:
    • 10% bracket: $0 - $23,850
    • 12% bracket: $23,851 - $96,950
    • 22% bracket: $96,951 - $206,700
    • 24% bracket: $206,701 - $394,600
    • 32% bracket: $394,601 - $501,050
    • 35% bracket: $501,051 - $751,600
    • 37% bracket: $751,601 and up
    These adjustments aim to prevent "bracket creep" due to inflation and will apply to the tax returns filed in early 2026 for the 2025 tax year

    But I am asking if income from futures trading is taken into account when establishing which tax bracket I fall into?
