What were the tax rates for 2013?

Tax rates for 2013 varied depending on what bracket someone's income fell into, but ranged between 10 percent and 39.6 percent, as stated by efile.com, the official IRS e-file provider. The amount of taxes that someone pays also depends on what status he files under, such as single or head of household.

A single person who made between $1 and $8,925 would be charged 10 percent in taxes. If someone made more than $8,925 dollars, then the taxpayer's income from $8,926 up to $36,250 would be taxed at 15 percent, as stated by Bankrate. This change of tax charges continues up until the taxpayer reaches the total of their income.
