Per the notice below, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued the tax inflation adjustments for 2025.

IRS releases tax inflation adjustments for tax year 2025

The Internal Revenue Service announced today the annual inflation adjustments for tax year 2025.  Revenue Procedure 2024-40 provides detailed information on adjustments and changes to more than 60 tax provisions that will impact taxpayers when they file their returns in 2026.

Notable changes for tax year 2025

The tax year 2025 adjustments described below generally apply to income tax returns to be filed starting tax season 2026.  The tax items for tax year 2025 of greatest interest to many taxpayers include the following dollar amounts:
