I may take a shot of rebuild the US Tax Table updated for 2025. I have a firm understand of the columns expect for how the RNUM numbers are created. If I start from scratch and just reassign a new 3 digit number to all the tax categories. Will this work.

I've done this for Australia. Built the tax table many years ago, and update it every few years based on the Australian Taxation Office's Tax Pack. Anyway, as far as I recall, you can do whatever you want with the three digit numbers, but the first number is important too to make sure that the structure is correct for assigning the tax questions to categories inside Money. Also, you can't change the length of the tax table strings, but there is a second file that allows you to use longer names as substitutes. Apart from that, I don't recall what the "Cpy" "Srt" "Sgn" "Frm" heading mean, but recall there was some importance of the "I" and "E" under "Sgn".

Frankly, I forget most of this and seem to re-learn it by trial and error each time I make changes. The key is to have a backup of the original files to put back in if you stuff something up and need to make adjustments.

Further to the above, I just looked at my file store, and note that the Sunset Edition only came with US and Canadian tax tables. They both happen to have an extra "Line" heading. I built the Australian tax table based on files from Money 1997, which also included UK and US tables, the former which looks more like the Australian table, without the "Line" heading, and the later just an earlier version of the US tax table that was included in the Sunset Edition. I'll just attach them all here if you want them for reference. The tax names table didn't come with the 1997 version, but the Sunset file structure works fine with the 1997 Australian tax table I used as a foundation.
