Don't Mess With Taxes

Reviewed and updated Saturday, July 15, 2023

Need information about the taxes in your state? The links below will take you to your state's tax department web site. Or district's revenue office if you live in Washington, D.C.

The date next to each link is the state's usual individual income tax filing deadline so you don't overlook this tax responsibility.

Note, however, in years where the Internal Revenue Service adjusts the federal filing deadline — for example, to deal with government shutdowns or new legislation not enacted until late in the tax year or, as in 2020 and 2021, to make accommodations for global pandemic precautions — states also may change their tax deadlines to align with the federal one.

States without individual income taxes: Note, too, that eight states (right now) don't collect income tax from individuals. The no-personal-income-tax states are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

New Hampshire only taxes individuals' interest and dividend income, and that's being phased out, with full repeal scheduled for Jan. 1, 2027.

All states, though, collect other taxes. Their revenue departments have details on the state, and in some cases more local, taxes you'll face as a resident or business owner.

One final calendar note. When a state's filing deadline, whether it's on April 15 or another date, falls on a weekend or holiday, the state usually follows IRS protocol and pushes the state tax filing due date to the next business day.

Territory taxes, too: Finally, you scrolled all way down here and didn't find your locale because you live in one of the U.S. territories.

If you have income from American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, you will usually have to file a tax return with the tax department of one of these territories.

In some situations, you may have to determine if you are a resident or a nonresident of the territory. For forms and advice on filing a territory tax return, contact that territory's tax department.

The territories' addresses and telephone numbers are listed in Publication 570, Tax Guide for Individuals With Income From U.S. Possessions. Additional information about the U.S. territories can be found at State and Local Government on the Net.
