And unfortunately, there's a chance it could increase your tax by $12 or more. It's very weird.
The tax tables look like this;
| If your taxable income is at least |
but less than |
Your tax is (single) |
Married filing jointly |
Married filing separately |
Head of household |

What that means is that there will occasionally be a situation where someone's income is $53,499, and adding $2 of income raises their tax by $11. Hopefully that doesn't happen if you add your extra $6.
