IRS Releases NEW 2025 Tax Brackets. What This Means For Your Wallet

[@jacklyn-b1u]

The utilization of after-tax money and tax-free growth makes opening a Roth IRA very advantageous. Through a careful guidance of my FA, I did not pay taxes on my withdrawals of $2.86 million when I retired.

[@randettawolf]

I don't regret the numerous financial mistakes I've made in the past since I've learnt from them. But the biggest one was planning my finances without consulting with a licensed financial counsel.

[@Carolj-p9j]

Indeed, I did make use of a financial counselor. As I get closer to retirement, their advice has been really helpful. I thought compound interest on index funds wouldn't be sufficient because I started late. It's amusing how I've done better than colleagues who have more years of investment experience. I've profited more than $886k tax free.

[@Tommyp-w1b]

I plan to employ the service of an asset-manager this year. I've seen some off social media but wasn't able to get a response. Could you recommend one?

[@Carolj-p9j]

There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with 'Grace Adams Cook' for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

[@franklyn-z1k]

[@kortyEdna825]

I just switched up my Roth IRA to 50% SCHD, 25% SCHX, 25% SCHG, and my Roth 401k is 70% vanguard S&P 500 index, 20% vanguard growth index, and 10% vanguard international index. Seeking best possible ways to grow $350k into $1m+ before retirement, I'm 55.

[@carssimplified2195]

Those sound like great picks! consider financial advisory so you don’t keep switching it up, top 3 payers for the month were $OHI, $KMI, and $EDP... not bad for 350k

[@KaurKhangura]

You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 14.3%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an advisor.

[@Justinmeyer1000]

I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisers online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?

Wow, her track record looks really good from what I found online. I'll take a chance and see how it goes. Thanks for the info

Having the bracket jump 10% at $48k is absurd. That should be more like $68k. $48k is borderline poor these days.

[@Skoora]

But aren’t you only charged 22% of what is over 48K? So if you make 50K you’re paying 22% on 2K?

[@tatianastarcic]

The problem is that in order to have "permanent roof" with amenities like electricity, gas and water, either the tenant or the owner must somehow pay insurance and property taxes. As a result, a lot of people live in tents, at least in California, where I presently dwell. Not a single mortgage, tax, rent, or insurance. It amazes me how many folks I meet who tell me they live in their cars. This place is insane!

[@JacobsErick-u8r]

It's becoming more and more insane by the day. Mortgage rates have been rising steadily (already over 7%). I often wonder if I should put my extra money into the stock market and wait for a housing crash, or if I should just buy a house regardless.

[@richardhudson1243]

Such concerns also come to me. After 50, I'm retiring early. I'm already concerned about the direction the future is taking, particularly with regard to finances and making ends meet. I'm thinking about investing in the stock market for the first time as well, but how can I accomplish so considering that the market has been in disarray for much of the year?

[@winifred-k9e]

For my part, I can relate to that. My benefits were clear when I started working with a fiduciary financial counsellor. I would always suggest seeking expert assistance in these situations so they can guide you through bumpy markets and simply provide you with indicators and tactics for knowing when to enter and exit the market.

[@Redwood4040]

Haha but you could actually make a lot of profit and not worry too much about taxes. It's all about playing the game well. I work with a financial advisor and I make sizeable profit north of 300k every quarter without even doing much.

[@Daniel-b1s3s]

The rise in tax rates is why I decided to roll over my 401k to a Roth IRA. I don’t want to be 59 and paying taxes on withdrawals from my retirement account.

[@FerdLerd]

Pre-tax contributions can help lower income taxes during your working years, while after-tax contributions can reduce your tax burden in retirement. Both have their advantages, but it’s also smart to save outside traditional retirement plans, such as individual investment accounts or with guidance from a financial advisor.

[@HotManP-l5g]

I completely agree. I'm in my mid-40s, getting closer to retirement, with over $2 million in non-retirement funds. I'm debt-free and hold relatively little in my retirement accounts compared to my total portfolio over the last three years. Honestly, you can't ignore the value of a good financial advisor-just make sure to do your homework and find a trustworthy fiduciary.

[@DanöVee]

@@HotManP-l5g This is the direction I want to take with my finances as I prepare for retirement. Can you recommend the advisor who helped you get ahead?

[@HotManP-l5g]

Thank you for sharing, I must say, Annette appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive. I reached out and scheduled a call.

[@Robby767]

I’m curious to see how it’s going to affect us, especially for those of us on fixed incomes

[@Kseniaramesh]

Yes, and while everyone talks about the new brackets, I think there’s more to it than just the numbers. It’s about how those changes affect each of us, right? Tax laws shift all the time, and they can either help or really hurt if you don’t stay on top of them

[@mariadrukker2557]

Absolutely. I saw an article about it, and there were so many potential pitfalls. For instance, higher tax brackets can trigger unexpected costs, like Medicare premiums, if your income pushes you up just slightly. And that’s something they don’t always tell you!

[@Annie2229]

Exactly! I spoke to a friend who uses Eric Paul Elmer, a financial advisor who’s worked with everyone from celebrities to folks just like us. He’s big on helping people navigate these kinds of issues without getting tripped up by all the fine print

[@Will54rol]

Eric Paul Elmer? I’ve heard of him. Apparently, he’s worked with billionaires and politicians but also helps regular folks avoid mistakes, like accidentally pushing themselves into a higher bracket or missing a deduction they’re eligible for.

[@MONROEJACQ]

That’s the thing. It’s easy to think, 'Oh, it’s just a tax bracket change,' but it can lead to missed opportunities or unexpected costs if you’re not careful. With Eric Paul Elmer, I’ve heard he takes the time to look at every angle, so you’re not just reacting to these changes but actually planning ahead

[@EnriqueCarrasco-z3j]

Honestly, it feels like we’re just getting started! Bitcoin is leading the charge! Bitcoin often leads the market in a bull run, and once it stabilizes and reaches new highs, we’ll start to see altcoins catching up. It’s all about timing-once the mainstream attention shifts to altcoins, we could see some serious pumps. I’ve made $119k just by buying and holding Bitcoin and waiting for the pump..

So, stuff like stocks, houses and precious metals aren't doing so great because folks are putting their money into banks for safety but I'm worried about my retirement savings losing value fast

[@Joanmacduff]

If you are in cross roads or need sincere advice on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets. It's better to hire a skilled financial planner especially if you're not one yourself. I hired one, after my retirement pension took a hit in April due to the crash

Schools send our kids out into the world with no financial know how. It’s upto the parents and unfortunately not enough parents can explain it either.

[@robertwendal5894]

The second reason being, one day in the future, the 401k will be inherited by children who are already earning 6 figure income and dont want them burdened by the 10 year withdrawal rule impacting their taxes.

You could never get that to happen because everyone that gets a paycheck from a business gets their taxes taken out before they even get their checks. Yes you could change your tax rate to exempt but at some point they are going to come for you and put you in prison at the barrel of a gun. Remember when the IRS got all those weapons and ammunition? What do you think that is going to be used for? Target practice? lol

[@changhehuang558]

good evening, my head is spinning around taxes all the time, just be clear this 2025 tax change is for the next next tax return in 2026-January. Not the one that coming up in couple month right?

Inflation should reflect the tax rates…shameful

Shouldn’t be any income tax! Soooo

We the people do get a say ... people just dont hold their representatives accountable for their votes in congress because of party loyalty. Senators vote against their states best interest all the time .. literally the last CR had senators voting no on funding government services then complaining about lack of funds a week later.

It is wise to seek professional guidance when building a strong financial portfolio due to its complexity

Talking to expert like Christine to reshape your portfolio is a very smart move

[@Robert-e7t6n]

Certainly! I diversified my $35,000 portfolio across different markets.

[@Robert-e7t6n]

I made a net profit of around $117k by investing in high dividend yield stocks, ETFs, and equity.

It means Ill be paying more taxes 2/3 of my income will be taxed at %10 the reminder @ %12. This does not help my situation at all.

No you just said taxed at 10% then some at 12% Same tax rate

[@kimmyk1]

Your taxed on your paycheck The balance is taxed on what you buy. And when you sell something you were already taxed on when you bought it is taxed yet again. Etc etc

[@juan.gonzalez03]

Did you not subtract the original tax for when you bought it to when you sold it so that it's taken into account? Sounds like whomever sold your stuff didnt do the math

[@IscoAlacaon]

I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $35,500 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is more than enough!

Am I understanding this correctly? Let's say that I have $90,000.00 of taxable income. Taking the standard deduction of $15,000.00 for a single filler and now my taxable income is $75,000.00. my taxable brackets would be as follows. $11,925 x .10 = $1,192.50 $36550 x .12 = $4, 386 $26,525 x .22 = $5,835.50 for a total federal tax bill of $11,414 Did I do that correctly? Thanks

In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.

[@AshleyChloe]

If you need advice, consider speaking with a financial advisor. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.

[@kimtreasa]

I agree. I've always trusted my excess funds to an advisor, especially after experiencing a significant portfolio loss in early 2020 during the COVID outbreak. Now, I'm semi-retired and only work 7.5 hours a week. I'm just 25% short of my $1 million retirement goal, thanks to my subsequent investments.

[@adamalford-x1p]

bravo! mind sharing info of your invt- advisor please? tried learning few strategies to profit in this current market, but all of that flew right over my head

Monica Lisa Payne is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment.

What I want to say is that I spent less than $ 100 from the fake LV I bought from kislux . The quality is very good. I spent four years on the plane, the bus, and anywhere. As a rag. I specially smelled the bag and compared the stitching color. This is the most authentic I have ever seen. To this day, this bag is still very strong. Although it has been abused, the material is still great.
