The tax structure in the United States for single individuals in 2009 was progressive, meaning that the tax rate increases as income increases. The higher the income, the higher the percentage of tax paid. This can be seen in Table 12-12, where the tax rate for income between $8,350 and $33,950 is 15%, while the tax rate for income above $372,950 is 35%.
