Corrections

Every figure on this site is published beside the document it was read from and the date it was checked against that document. If a figure disagrees with the document linked next to it, the document is right and the page is wrong.

Reporting one

Write to hello@ratesandlimits.com with the page address and what you believe the figure should be. A report that names the government document stating the correct amount is acted on fastest, because that document is what the correction has to be verified against: a figure cannot be changed here on the strength of an email alone.

What happens to it

  1. The source document is fetched again and stored as new evidence.
  2. The figure is re-verified against that stored text by the same checks that published it.
  3. If the original was wrong, the record is corrected in a commit that does nothing else, so the change is legible on its own in the repository history.
  4. The verification date on the page moves to the day the re-check ran.

Corrections made

Every correction below changed a figure that had already been published. Each one is a commit of its own in this site's history, and each required the figure freeze to be lifted deliberately before the build would accept it.

2025 standard deduction - 28 August 2026
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act amended section 63(c) during 2025 and raised the basic standard deduction for that year. The record still held the amounts Rev. Proc. 2024-40 had set before the amendment. It was republished from Publication 501, which is the document that states every amount the page carries, including the section 63(f) addition the amendment left alone.
2025 SALT deduction and 2025 dependent care FSA limit - 28 August 2026
Both quotes stopped one clause short of the restriction that followed the amount, so each page showed a limit that applies to most filers as though it applied to all of them. The quotes now run to the end of the statement, and the build refuses a quote cut that way.

What is not corrected

A figure that was correct for its year stays as it is when the law changes later. A 2025 page states the 2025 amount permanently; it is not updated to the 2026 one, and it is not removed. The wording around a figure may be improved at any time. The figure itself may not be edited casually - the build refuses it unless the change is made deliberately and on its own.

How each figure is verified in the first place is described undermethodology.
