Oh My...….You're going to need to step back and re-think and re-re-review how the tax is applied
____________________________________________
1) A tax bracket rate isn't applied to everything.....it is only applied to the $$ received above a certain taxable income amount....thus the tax is stepped up in ranges so: "Some" of your taxable income is taxed at 10%, the next "some" of it is at 12%, ….some at 22%...etc etc:

2) Even then, not all sources of income are taxed a those rates. Long Term Capital gains and qualified dividends are taxed at special rates and special forms are used to calculate the final tax
