Questions about the state schedule.
Is this the state withholding table?
These schedules describe ordinary personal income rates. Withholding methods can differ from annual return calculations.
Does this include city taxes or special taxes?
No. Local taxes, capital-gains taxes, surcharges and high-income recapture can require additional calculations. Read the state-specific note and linked primary source.
Does a zero rate mean no taxes?
A state without an ordinary personal income tax can still levy sales, property, business or other taxes.
Where can I calculate an actual state return?
Use the linked state revenue department’s forms or a qualified preparer for deductions, credits and special calculations.
