The United States has what is called a progressive tax system. Tax rates increase as earnings increase. This year, people earning more than three hundred twenty-six thousand dollars are taxed at the highest rate.
Earnings above that amount are taxed at thirty-five percent. Earnings below that amount are taxed at lower rates.
Individuals who earn less than seven thousand three hundred dollars pay no income tax. But they do pay Social Security, Medicare and other taxes.
There are many different ways for people and businesses to reduce their federal income taxes. Most homeowners, for example, can reduce their taxes a little by reporting to the I.R.S. the interest they pay on a home loan. This is called a tax deduction.

Other forms of income include business income taxes, money borrowed to cover the deficit and special taxes on trade and property.
