Progressive Rate Structure
This rate structure is when the tax rate increases when the tax base
increases. An example of the use of this structure is federal income tax. A taxpayer that has low income would pay only 10%, but a taxpayer with a higher income will pay 15% (Cruz, 2022).
Proportional Rate Structure
This rate structure is when the tax rate stays the same regardless of the tax base. An example of this structure would be sales tax. In
my state there is a tax base of 6% that is used for the sale of items. If you buy something for $1 or $100, the tax rate will stay the same
for each purchase (Cruz, 2022).
Regressive Rate Structure
This rate structure is when the tax rate decreases when the tax base increases. For example, employees pay 6.2% of wages up to $168,600. If your wages go above that, then the tax rate goes down (Social Security, 2024).
Unemployment Compensation
This is money that is paid by the state to a person that has lost their job. It is a temporary source of taxable income until that person can find another job. A person must report these wages on Form 1099-G in box 1 (Cruz, 2022).
Filing Status
A filing status is used to define what type of tax return you are filing. There are five different ones to choose from such as single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of the household, or qualifying widow(er). A taxpayer is taxed at a different rate depending on which filing status they choose (Cruz, 2022).
