IRS Releases 2013 Federal Tax Brackets, Inflation-Adjusted Items

IRS released a revenue procedure (Rev. Proc. 2013-15) on Friday that set forth inflation adjusted items for 2013 and other items whose values for the coming year are specified in the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. IRS welcomed the addition of the new 39.6% income tax bracket, the beginning income levels for the limitation on certain itemized deductions and the beginning income levels for the phaseout of personal exemptions.

The estate, gift and GST exemptions were set for inflation at $5,250,000. The new federal tax brackets look very similar to last year other than the addition of a new tax bracket of the highest income earners.

All taxes have a purpose all 2013 tax bracketsgo to some government funded program or project of some sort. It does not matter if we see the projects or not the money is going there. When you drive to work the same way you do every day and you don't hit that pothole you swear at two or three times a week did you notice it was filled in.

Q:
Can I transfer money from my IRA to my husband's Roth IRA? I am 35, and he is 36.

Thank you!

Gail Clements

A:
No. The only way your IRA funds can be transferred to your husband’s IRA is in a divorce or after your death. Even then, it would have to be transferred to a similar IRA, for example an IRA to IRA or a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA. In this case, you cannot transfer your IRA into your husband’s Roth IRA.
