Investopedia explains 'Tax Schedule'

The main tax schedules have income breakpoints clearly stated, and show which tax rates apply both above and beneath these breakpoints. These schedules will change each tax year, and may have different income ranges than those mentioned on state or municipality tax forms.

Investors can find all federal tax schedules on the IRS website, www.irs.gov.
