A "tax bracket" is a category used to define your highest possible tax rate, based on your filing status and taxable income. In other words, your income determines the bracket you will be placed in, and the higher your income, the higher your tax rate (from 10% to 37%).
The only way to lower your tax bracket is to reduce your taxable income. However, there are many ways to lower your fees. Among these are tax credits, deductions, and exemptions, all of which are major players in the tax saving game.
