If I worked full-time, 25%, but I'm not, so 15%.


10%?  According to this site, you're making less than $8,000/year...

Right, and that's also taxable income. You can't forget deductions.

Fine, fine.  I will readily admit I don't know very much about taxes; I just fill out the form and do what it tells me to do. Tongue

My wife and I combined made 38k dollars last year. Maybe I'm 15% not exactly sure though I did get all my tax money back. I'm married w/two children (1k dollars per child). This year our combined will be much higher. I'll probably make nearly 38k alone before my wifes income.

Option 3, but once you deduct all the interest on my student loans, it's probably going to be closer to option 1.

Top marginal rate is after deductions.

See, its hard to tell, because I don't know exactly how much I am going to end up paying in interest this year.  It was close last year.

25%, just last year. I only made it in there and not 15% by less than $1000. Son-of-a-bitch! I knew my tax bracket had gone up when I actually had to pay tax back to the government, but I didn't realize it went up by that much! Where's my damn tax cut! Angry

Since retiring 15%
In my pre-geezerhood days before retiring, 25%.

BTW a married couple can use the standard deduction of $9700 plus the personal exemption of $3100 each, so the first $15900 is not taxed.

One of the nice things about geezerhood is that by not working my tax bill drops about $20,000 per year. ( That's 4000 table dances for BRTD's sake)

My parents are in the highest rate in Ontario: 46%.
When I start working I'll be in the highest too.

I'm pretty certain my family is in the 28% or 33%. I'd have to check.

Very impressive. To be in the 35% bracket you have to make over $319000.  May I be so rude as to ask what you do for a living?

Maybe he's married filing seperately. If the link Philip posted is correct, that would be 169K. Either way, very impressive.
