How State Income Tax Works
- Progressive vs Flat: Most states use progressive brackets (higher rates for higher income). Some states like Illinois use a flat rate.
- Standard Deductions: Most states offer standard deductions similar to federal (varies by state).
- Local Taxes: Some cities (NYC, Yonkers) impose additional local income taxes.
- Federal vs State: Federal income tax is separate and applies nationwide. State tax is additional.
