What's Your Tax Bracket?

I had a discussion yesterday with one of my clients who asked how they find out what their tax bracket is. While I was talking to them, I googled the question and found it for them.

I find as long as my clients call me for any question, I am doing my job for them. Being a rescource for my clients is what I have done since 1988.
