Most Americans who earned money last year are expected to pay the I.R.S. part of what they earned. Only those who earned very little are not required to make such a payment.They still must send a tax report to the government.
Most American workers have already paid all or most of their federal income taxes.This is because part of the tax goes to the I.R.S.each time a worker is paid.The government returns some of the money if too much was withheld. People who work for themselves usually send a tax payment to the I.R.S.every three months.
The federal tax rate is not the same for everyone.People who earn a lot of money pay taxes at a higher rate than those who earn less.But even people who earn the same amount do not always pay the same amount of tax.That is because of the many tax laws written by Congress.These laws were created for social or economic purposes.
For example people who borrow money to buy a house may pay less in taxes than people who rent a home. Homeowners can subtract (减掉) the interest on the loan from their taxable income.Americans also can help reduce their taxable income by subtracting the value of money given to organizations that help the needy.
Personal income tax is not the only tax that the federal government collects.It taxes property or money left when someone dies.And it taxes earnings from the sale of some investments such as a house.Americans also pay a federal social security tax that is used to pay retired workers.
Americans pay many other taxes too.Most pay taxes to the state in which they live.Most states also collect sales tax.That is an amount added to the cost of goods bought in stores.
And local city and county governments collect tax on property its citizens own.Many Americans say they pay too many taxes and their taxes are too high.Others say they are willing to pay taxes to receive services from their local state and federal governments.
