State Income Tax Rates Across the US
State income tax rates vary dramatically — from 0% in Texas, Florida, and Washington to 9.9% in Oregon and 13.3% in California for high earners. These rates significantly affect real take-home pay and should factor into relocation decisions and job offer comparisons.
No-Tax States: Is It Really Free?
States without income taxes often compensate with higher sales taxes, property taxes, or other fees. Texas, for example, has no income tax but property tax rates among the highest in the nation. Nevada relies heavily on tourism taxes. The overall tax burden varies but no-income-tax states generally remain advantageous for high earners.
SALT Deduction Cap
The TCJA (2017) capped the state and local tax (SALT) deduction at $10,000 for federal purposes. High-income residents of high-tax states like California, New York, and New Jersey cannot fully deduct their state taxes on federal returns, increasing their effective combined burden. This cap was set to expire but has been extended.
