About the 2008 Individual Income Tax Rates

The income tax rates above are graduated rates.  Taxable income for up to the maximum listed in a given line on the tables (also referred to as a tax bracket) is taxed at the given rate.  Taxable income that exceeds a particular bracket is then taxed at the incremental rate for the succeeding bracket.  Tax planning from year to year can help to reduce your tax liability by utilizing the lower tax brackets.
