Tax laws can vary by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

It’s important to note that tax law changes can have wide-ranging impacts on individuals, businesses, and the economy as a whole. Understanding these changes is crucial for taxpayers to navigate their obligations and make informed financial decisions. Here are some general changes that occurred in 2022.

For Individuals:

  1. Tax Brackets: Tax rates and income thresholds for each tax bracket may have been adjusted. It’s essential to check the current tax brackets for the specific tax year in question.
  2. Standard Deduction: The standard deduction amount may have changed. In 2022, the standard deduction for individuals increased to $12,950 for single filers and $25,900 for married couples filing jointly.
  3. Itemized Deductions: The limitations or phase-outs on itemized deductions, such as those for state and local taxes (SALT), may have been modified.
  4. Child Tax Credit: The Child Tax Credit was expanded in 2022, allowing eligible taxpayers to claim up to $3,000 per qualifying child between ages 6 and 17 and $3,600 for children under 6.
  5. Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): The EITC income limits, credit amounts, and phase-out thresholds may have been adjusted.
  6. Affordable Care Act (ACA): The penalties for not having health insurance under the ACA’s individual mandate were reduced to $0 starting in 2019.

For Businesses:

  1. Corporate Tax Rate: The corporate tax rate was reduced from 35% to a flat 21% starting in 2018. However, it’s important to verify if any changes were made to this rate in 2022.
  2. Qualified Business Income Deduction (QBI): In 2022, certain pass-through businesses, such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, and S-corporations, may have been eligible for a deduction of up to 20% of qualified business income.
  3. Bonus Depreciation: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) allowed for 100% bonus depreciation on qualifying property in certain situations. The availability and percentages of bonus depreciation may have changed.
  4. Section 179 Expensing: The maximum amount of business property expenses that could be immediately deducted under Section 179 may have been modified.
  5. International Taxation: Tax rules related to international operations, including repatriation of foreign profits, may have experienced changes in 2022.
  6. Payroll Taxes: Adjustments to payroll taxes, such as Social Security and Medicare, could occur. It’s important to stay updated on any changes that might affect your business’s payroll obligations.

Keep in mind that this list is not exhaustive, and it’s crucial to consult official tax resources and get professional tax advice.
