2017 IRS INFLATION ADJUSTMENTS

The IRS has announced many of the 2017 annual inflation adjustments.  Some numbers remain unchanged.  Below are the 2017 Standard Deduction and Personal Exemption amounts and the tax rate schedules.
 
I am working on a compilation of “What’s New For 2017”, and will let you know when it is available for download.
 
THE STANDARD DEDUCTION
 
  Single and Married Filing Separate = $6,350
  Married Filing Joint and Qualifying Widow(er) = $12,700
  Head of Household = $9,350
 
The Standard Deduction for a dependent is the greater of (1) $1,050, or (2) the sum of $350 and the individual's earned income (up to $6,350).
 
The additional Standard Deduction amount for the age 65 or older or blind is $1,250 for married individuals and $1,550 for Single and Head of Household.

The personal exemption is $4,050.
