While Congress didn’t pass the Build Back Better Act in 2021, there are still tax changes that may affect your tax situation for this year. That’s because some tax figures are adjusted annually for inflation. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with tax amounts that have changed for this year. For example, the amount you have to earn in 2022 before you can stop paying Social Security on your salary has increased to $147,000 (from $142,800 for 2021). In 2022, you can contribute up to $20,500 to a 401(k) plan (up from $19,500 in 2021). You can contribute another $6,500 catch-up amount to a 401(k) if you’re age 50 or older.
