highest federal tax rate ever
For income made in 2015, the highest marginal income tax rate in the U.S. has been set at 39.6%. That will apply to single filers who made more than $413,201, to married joint filers who made over $464,850 and to heads of household who made at least $439,001. The income tax rate applies not necessarily to one's entire income, but only to taxable income, or gross adjusted income.
