An income tax is a tax that governments impose on financial income generated by all entities within their jurisdiction. By law, businesses and individuals must file an income tax return every year to determine whether they owe any taxes or are eligible for a tax refund. Income tax is a key source of funds that the government uses to fund its activities and serve the public. Most states have two taxes which are:
- Federal income tax is imposed on all citizens and residents of the United States, regardless of the State in which you live. If you make your home (and/or business) in one of the fifty states, you are subject to income tax by the Federal government. While legislators are in charge of constructing and passing tax laws, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the Federal agency which enforces those tax laws and collects the taxes from individuals.
The amount of Federal income tax that you owe each year is based on your income level. The United States uses a progressive tax system — which means that the more money you earn, the more taxes you must pay. Your marginal tax bracket is the highest tax rate that you will pay on your income.
- State income tax is separate from the Federal tax laws enforced by the IRS. State taxes are levied by each individual State’s government ― there is no system that encompasses the separate taxes for all fifty states. For this reason, State taxes will vary depending on where you live, work, shop, invest, etc. State taxes may be administered by a State department of revenue, department of taxation, state treasurer, or state controller.
State Rate:
States’ approaches to income taxes vary in other details as well. Some states double their single-bracket widths for married filers to avoid the “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. In the following table, we provide the most up-to-date data available on state individual income tax rates, brackets, standard deductions, and personal exemptions for both single and joint filers.
State taxes: New York
New York’s state income tax rates range from 4% to 8.82% over 8 income brackets. More on the Empire State’s taxes can be found in the tabbed pages below.
