When looking at the tax table please notice that above the first number it says "At least" and above the second number it says "But less than". In your example with the taxable income of $1,000, you would use the $1,000- $1,050 range.
Also please be aware if you have any Qualified Dividends or Capital Gains then you will need to use the Qualified
Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet to calculate your tax.
