    How and When We Update

    Last reviewed:

    How and when TaxKiln US's content is updated. We update on the US federal tax legislation cycle, state budget releases, the annual IRS indexed-amount publication, enactment of new legislation, and mid-year policy changes that materially affect rates or rules.

    Update triggers

    **federal tax legislation.** The federal tax legislation is typically delivered in March or April each year. Budget-impacted pages are updated within 30 days of the Budget speech, reflecting confirmed rate changes, threshold revisions, and new or amended reliefs. **State budgets.** State and territorial budgets are released at different points throughout the year. State pages are updated when rates change, with the affected jurisdiction's page reviewed within 30 days of the budget release. **IRS indexed amounts.** IRS publishes the indexed amounts for the following tax year each December or January — federal tax brackets, the Basic Personal Amount, Social Security and UI maximums, 401(k) and Roth IRA contribution limits, and other inflation-adjusted thresholds. All rate tables and threshold references are updated at that point. **Legislative changes.** enactment of new tax legislation triggers a content review of every affected guide. Where the change is material, the page is updated and the 'Last reviewed' date is refreshed. **Mid-year policy changes.** Policy can change outside the budget cycle. Prime Minister Carney's March 2025 cancellation of the proposed capital gains inclusion-rate increase is a recent example — the affected pages were updated immediately and the 'Recent Changes' guide flagged the reversal.

    Tax year currently displayed

    TaxKiln US currently displays 2025 tax year data (January 1 — December 31, 2025). All brackets, rates, and thresholds reflect the 2025 indexed amounts published by IRS. The federal tax year aligns with the calendar year for individuals; corporate fiscal year-ends vary and are addressed in the Fiscal Year-End guide.

    How updates are surfaced

    Every page shows a 'Last reviewed' date. Material changes prompt a refreshed date and, where the change affects practical application, a note on the page describing what changed and when. We do not publish a separate sitewide changelog at this time; the per-page 'Last reviewed' date is the version stamp.

    Currency discipline is the cost of being citable. The dates on every page reflect when the content was last verified against current US tax law.
