1 Katherine Loughead, State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets for 2020 1 (2020)

handle is hein.taxfoundation/stininct0001 and id is 1 raw text is: State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets for 2020 FISCAL FACT Katherine Loughead Senior Policy Analyst No. 693 Feb. 2020 Key Findings Individual income taxes are a major source of state government revenue, accounting for 37 percent of state tax collections in fiscal year (FY) 2017. Forty-three states levy individual income taxes. Forty-one tax wage and salary income, while two states-New Hampshire and Tennessee-exclusively tax dividend and interest income. Seven states levy no individual income tax at all. Of those states taxing wages, nine have single-rate tax structures, with one rate applying to all taxable income. Conversely, 32 states and the District of Columbia levy graduated-rate income taxes, with the number of brackets varying widely by state. Hawaii has 12 brackets, the most in the country. States' approaches to income taxes vary in other details as well. Some states double their single-bracket widths for married filers to avoid a marriage penalty. Some states index tax brackets, exemptions, and deductions for inflation; many others do not. Some states tie their standard deductions and personal exemptions to the federal tax code, while others set their own or offer none at all.
