How much is federal tax in texas

The third component of your tax rate is the unemployment Obligation Assessment (OA). The purpose of the OA is to collect amounts needed to pay bond obligations and also collect interest due on federal loans to Texas used to pay unemployment benefits.

The OA is the sum of two parts, the Bond Obligation Assessment Rate and the Interest Tax Rate.

Bond Obligation Assessment Rate

The Bond Obligation Assessment Rate is determined by this formula:

(Prior Year Rate x Obligation Assessment Ratio) x Yield Margin percentage, rounded to the nearest hundredth. The prior year rate is the sum of your 2021 General Tax, Replenishment Tax, and Deficit tax.

The Commission sets the Obligation Assessment Ratio and the Yield Margin (percentage). Those two factors are the same for all employers subject to the OA.

The 2022 Obligation Assessment Ratio (OA Ratio) is 0.00 percent.

The OA Ratio is calculated according to Commission Rule:

OA Ratio = Principle, interest and administrative expenses due in 2022 on outstanding bonds ÷ Tax due from the General and Replenishment tax rates for the four quarters ending June 30th of the previous year

The result is rounded to the next hundredth.

The 2022 Yield Margin is 0.00 percent. The Yield Margin is adopted by Commission resolution.

There is no Bond Obligation Assessment Rate for 2022.

Interest Tax Rate

The Interest Tax Rate is used to pay interest on federal loans to Texas, if owed, used to pay unemployment benefits. This percentage will be the same for all employers in a given year. The Interest Tax is calculated according to Commission Rule.

The Interest Tax Rate for 2022 is 0.01 percent.

The United States levies tax on its citizens and residents on their worldwide income. Non-resident aliens are taxed on their US-source income and income effectively connected with a US trade or business (with certain exceptions).

Personal income tax rates

For individuals, the top income tax rate for 2022 is 37%, except for long-term capital gains and qualified dividends (discussed below).

P.L. 115-97 reduced both the individual tax rates and the number of tax brackets. P.L. 115-97 sunsets after 2025 many individual tax provisions, including the lower rates and revised brackets, in order to comply with US Senate budget rules.

Notes

1. The maximum federal tax rate on capital gains is 20% for assets held for more than 12 months. The graduated rates of tax apply to capital gains from assets held for 12 months or less.
2. Non-resident aliens may not take advantage of head of household status or joint return rates.

Alternative minimum tax (AMT)

In lieu of the tax computed using the above rates, the individual AMT may be imposed under a two-tier rate structure of 26% and 28%. For tax year 2021, the 28% tax rate applies to taxpayers with taxable incomes above USD 199,900 (USD 99,950 for married individuals filing separately). For tax year 2022, the 28% tax rate applies to taxpayers with taxable incomes above USD 206,100 (USD 103,050 for married individuals filing separately). 

Under P.L. 115-97, for tax years beginning after 31 December 2017, and before 1 January 2026, the AMT exemption amount is increased to USD 109,400 for married taxpayers filing a joint return (half this amount for married taxpayers filing a separate return), and USD 70,300 for all other taxpayers (other than estates and trusts). The phase-out thresholds increase to USD 1 million for married taxpayers filing a joint return and USD 500,000 for all other taxpayers (other than estates and trusts). These amounts are indexed for inflation. For 2021, the AMT exemption amount is USD 114,600 for married taxpayers filing a joint return (half this amount for married taxpayers filing a separate return) and USD 73,600 for all other taxpayers (other than estates and trusts), and the phase-out thresholds are USD 1,047,200 for married taxpayers filing a joint return and USD 523,600 for all other taxpayers (other than estates and trusts). 

For 2022, the AMT exemption amount is USD 118,100 for married taxpayers filing a joint return (half this amount for married taxpayers filing a separate return) and USD 75,900 for all other taxpayers (other than estates and trusts), and the phase-out thresholds are USD 1,079,800 for married taxpayers filing a joint return and USD 539,900 for all other taxpayers (other than estates and trusts).

The AMT is payable only to the extent it exceeds the regular net tax liability. The foreign tax credit is available for determining AMT liability to the extent of the foreign tax on the foreign-source AMT income (AMTI), subject to certain limitations.

AMTI generally is computed by starting with regular taxable income, adding tax preference deductions (claimed in the computation of regular taxable income), and making special adjustments to some of the tax items that were used to calculate taxable income. For example, the taxpayer must add back all state and local income taxes deducted in computing regular taxable income.

For non-resident aliens with a net gain from the sale of US real property interests, the AMT is calculated on the lesser of AMTI (before the exemption) or the net gain from the sale of the US real property interest.

Medicare contribution tax

For tax years beginning after 31 December 2012, a 3.8% 'unearned income Medicare contribution' tax applies on the lesser of (i) the taxpayer's net investment income for the tax year or (ii) the taxpayer's excess modified adjusted gross income over a threshold amount (generally, USD 200,000 for single taxpayers and heads of households; USD 250,000 for a married couple filing a joint return and surviving spouses; and USD 125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return). The tax, which is in addition to the regular income tax liability, applies to all individuals subject to US taxation other than non-resident aliens. Net investment income generally includes non-business income from interest, dividends, annuities, royalties, and rents; income from a trade or business of trading financial instruments or commodities; income from a passive-activity trade or business; and net gain from the disposition of non-business property.

State and local income taxes

Most states, and a number of municipal authorities, impose income taxes on individuals working or residing within their jurisdictions. Most of the 50 states impose some personal income tax, with the exception of Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming, which have no state income tax. New Hampshire and Tennessee (until 1 January 2021) tax only dividend and interest income. Few states impose an income tax at rates that exceed 10%.
