What is State Income Tax?
The term “state income tax” refers to the annual tax imposed on your income by the state government. The rules are varied in every state. Income tax may be imposed at a flat rate, progressive rate, or not at all.
How do the State Income Tax Rates Work?
It’s possible that if you both live and work in the same state, you’ll only have to submit a single state tax return annually. But, you may have to file in more than one state if you spent part of the year living in another state, worked in another state, or held rental properties in more than one state.
Filing income taxes in more than one state generally results in additional expenses since most tax preparation and filing software packages only include one state in their base pricing.
Types of State Income Taxes
There are generally three ways in which states collect taxes on their citizens and/or employees.
- No income tax is imposed.
- Flat tax
This implies that all forms of income (or, in certain situations, simply dividends and interest) are liable to the same tax rate.
- Progressive tax
The tax system is progressive. Thus, the state income tax rates rise with a person’s taxable income.
