WASHINGTON (IR-2009-93, Oct. 15, 2009) — Tax rate brackets and various tax benefits will remain unchanged or change only slightly in 2010 due to inflation, the Internal Revenue Service announced today.

By law, the dollar amounts for a variety of tax provisions must be revised each year to keep pace with inflation. As a result, more than three dozen tax benefits are subject to inflation adjustments each year, but because recent inflation factors have been minimal, many of these benefits will remain unchanged or change only slightly for 2010.
