  2018 Tax Rate Schedules

  Use the 2018 Tax Rate Schedules to compute the tax.

  Note: Because the tax rate schedules are used instead of the tax tables, the amount of tax computed may vary slightly from the amount listed in the tables. This variation occurs because the tax for a particular income range in the tax table is based on the midpoint amount.
