2009 Tax Schedules
It's tax time
again.
For those
of you who are new to the process (or just willfully unknowledgeable
- ignorance is bliss!) you've nevertheless most likely heard that
you should expect to pay about a 1/3 of what you've earned to
Uncle Sam come April 15, 2010.
While the
"pay a 1/3" rule is a good approximation, check out
the 2009 IRS Tax Schedules below for a clearer explanation of
tax brackets and how the percentages are calculated, depending
on whether your filing as Single, Married
filing jointly, Married filing separately
or as Head of household.
