Frequently Asked Questions
Which states have no income tax?
Nine states have no state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire (dividends and interest only until 2025), South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. However, these states often make up revenue through higher sales or property taxes.
How do state taxes affect where I should incorporate my business?
State tax rates affect your overall tax burden significantly. Delaware and Nevada are popular for incorporation due to favorable corporate laws, but you still owe taxes in states where you have nexus (physical presence or significant sales). Compare income, sales, property, and franchise taxes together.
What is the difference between state income tax and corporate tax?
State income tax applies to individuals and pass-through entities (LLCs, S-Corps). Corporate tax applies to C-Corporations on their profits. Some states like Texas have no income tax but charge a franchise (margin) tax on businesses instead.
