举例:
两只单身狗,每只狗的可征税收入是90750美元
每只狗需缴税5156.25+25%*(90750-37450)=18481.25
两只单身狗结婚后分开报税的话
每只狗需缴税5156.25+25%*(75600-37450)+28%*(90750-75600)=18935.75
相比单身,每只结婚狗多交(28%-25%)*(90750-75600)=3%*15150=454.5美元
就是有15150的收入多交了3%的税:单身的话90750以上才到28%的bracket,结婚的话,
75600以上就到28%了
如果他们联合报税呢?
总收入90750*2=181500
交税29387.5+28%*(90750-75600)*2=37871.5
每只狗还是交37871.5/2=18935.75
所以从税务考虑,如果狗男女收入都超过75600,应该保持单身。
但如果已经结婚的话,应该联合报税,联合报税绝不可能比分开报交的钱多。
