• Income Limit for Full Roth IRA Contributions:  $105,000 single/$167,000 joint (no change/up $1,000 from 2009)

Here are the projected 2010 tax tables (along with the actual 2009 tax tables):

  If a married couple had a taxable income of 68,000 exactly, then they would be taxed 9,362.50 That is 16,750 @ 10% and 51,250 @ 15%. Any earnings greater than 68,000 will be taxed at 25% until it reaches the upper limit of that bracket.

  Stacy: “Any earnings greater than 68,000 will be taxed at 25% until it reaches the upper limit of that bracket.”

  That is exactly why the ranges are incorrect. Any earnings greater than 68,000 would mean the first salary in the next range using that example should be listed as 68,001 instead of repeating the value from the previous bracket. The ranges shouldn’t overlap, otherwise confusion ensues as Edwin (not his fault) proves.

  Use this site instead because they make that distinction, although not efficiently: http://www.consumerismcommentary.com/2010-federal-income-tax-brackets-marginal-rates/
