2025 Relocation Tax Updates: What HR Needs to Know

As the IRS reveals new tax brackets and higher standard deductions for 2025, HR professionals face important considerations when relocating employees. The standard deduction will increase to $15,000 for single filers and $30,000 for joint filers, reducing taxable income for many employees.

Adjusted Tax Bracket Models

  • A Single filer can now earn up to $48,475 and remain in the 12% tax bracket.
  • Married couples can now earn up to $96,950 and remain in the 12% tax bracket.

Looking Ahead: Potential Changes in 2025

There is also a possibility of further tax code changes in mid-January that could alter tax brackets and deductions even further.
