Virginia 2026: Same brackets for all statuses (not indexed). The $8,750/$17,500 standard deduction (HB 1600, 2025) applies through tax year 2026 and is scheduled to revert to $3,000/$6,000 in 2027; Virginia has no separate HoH amount (HoH uses the single amount) and MFS gets half the joint amount. The extra $800 exemption for age 65+/blind, the low-income credit and the spouse tax adjustment are not modelled. Federal tax is 2026 withholding (IRS Pub. 15-T), not your final tax bill.
