Vermont hasn't published its 2026 brackets and deductions yet, so these are the 2025 figures; the child tax credit for children 5 and under isn't included.
Some of Vermont's 2026 figures weren't published when we checked, so the latest published amounts (or amounts worked out from the 2026 law) are used; we'll update them when the state publishes its 2026 forms.
