Why it matters
These changes affect how income is taxed and how much income is subject to federal taxes. The adjustments to tax brackets and deductions may alter the Adjusted Gross Income used to determine Medicare premium surcharges. Similarly, changes to tax rules could alter the income used to determine Social Security benefit taxation.
