TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. The IRS makes such adjustments for each tax year to account for inflation, which has recently been on a downward trend. But Americans are still feeling some key price pressures.

————————–
VERBATIM: The Internal Revenue Service detailed the increases in its annual inflation adjustments. For single taxpayers and married individuals filing separately in tax year 2025, the standard deduction is rising to $15,000 — up $400 from 2024. And for couples who file jointly, that standard deduction will be $30,000 for 2025, an $800 jump from the year prior.
