As always thanks for your information here.

I was wondering if the numbers were correct in area 5 the first group? Seems like it skipped over some wage levels.

Thanks

I did not skip over any tax brackets, if you look closely there are on 5 tax brackets

10%, 15%, 28%, 33% and 39% if you make under a total Adjusted gross income of $450,000

Most taxpayers do not normally make over the 33% bracket but they would be CEO,'s ETC
if you read the brackets carefully you will see that all brackets are listed, The site does not let me actually make a 2 column Chart so you can see the others, they run on with the first,

the first column is 10, 15 and 25, and the 28% runs into the 10% and so on
but the bracket are all there.
