AB 1

Under this bill, beginning in taxable year 2026, all individual taxpayers,

regardless of their income, pay the individual income tax at the rate of 3.25 percent.

In addition, for taxable years 2023 through 2025, the bill decreases individual

Under current law, there are four income tax brackets for single individuals,

is 3.54 percent of taxable income. The rate for the second bracket is 4.65 percent.

The rate for the third bracket is 5.3 percent. And the rate for the highest bracket is

7.65 percent. After bracket indexing for taxable year 2022, the four brackets for

individuals, certain fiduciaries, and heads of households, to which the above rates

apply, are as follows: 1) taxable income from $0 to $12,760; 2) taxable income

exceeding $12,760 but not exceeding $25,520; 3) taxable income exceeding $25,520

but not exceeding $280,950; and 4) taxable income exceeding $280,950.
