Inflation and Taxes

Inflation is measured by price changes in a basket of goods and services that represent the everyday purchases of U.S. households. Each year, the IRS makes adjustments for inflation to certain items used to prepare your income tax return.


These items include income-tax brackets, standard deductions, capital gains income thresholds, the earned income tax credit, and retirement plan and IRA contribution limits, among others. All are adjusted to reflect inflation during the previous year, based on the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (Chained CPI-U).


But some items that can have an impact on your tax bill are not adjusted for inflation.

Social Security Benefits
Although Social Security benefits generally receive a cost-of-living adjustment each year, the income thresholds at which benefits are taxed have remained the same.


Home Sale Tax Exclusion
The amount of gain on a home sale that can be excluded from tax remains at $250,000 for single filers and $500,000 for married joint filers despite increases in housing prices.


Your tax professional can help you make the most of any deductions and credits you may qualify for that can lower your tax bill.
