. . UNITED STATES: GOVERNMENT : TAXES AND TAXATION: Upper Brackets Will Feel Weight of Federal Tax Changes . . Upper Brackets Will Feel Weight of Federal Tax Changes By Lynn Asinof February 16, 2014 Boston Globehttp://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2014/02/15/ upper-income-brackets-take-biggest-tax-hit/ tNnSrk8p5d6KNZt9kMAy2I/story.html

How will the major tax changes approved by Congress affect your returns? .Taxpayers will find out soon as they plug figures into their tax returns, due April 15, and see for the first time the impact of last years federal tax law changes.
.To get an idea of what they might find, the Globe asked tax preparer H&R Block to create some tax return scenarios, calculating tax liability under both the 2012 and 2013 tax rules using the same income numbers for both years.
.The result: Taxpayers who are married and filing jointly with income of $250,000 or less may be pleased to find their taxes declining a bit. Even couples making $450,000 enough to trigger most of the thresholds for new taxes, phased-out deductions, and phased-out personal exemptions probably wont see a dramatic increase in their tax bill.
.But as annual income rises above that level, so do tax bills. Despite all the news coverage about the new tax laws, that may still come as a surprise to many.
.Moreover, the numbers will vary even among those with similar incomes, said Bob Lepson, vice president of financial planning at Braver Wealth Management in Needham. The specific makeup of your income will make a big difference, he said.
