IRS raises 2027 capital gains tax brackets
The IRS announced higher long-term capital gains tax brackets for 2027, applying to assets held for more than one year. It also increased figures for dozens of other provisions, including federal income tax brackets, the estate and gift tax exemption and eligibility for the earned income tax credit. The applicable rate — 0%, 15% or 20% — depends on the bracket based on taxable income. For 2027, the standard deduction will rise to $16,600 for single filers and $33,200 for married couples filing jointly.
